fonts on windows

Hi, 

I'm setting up an new lilypond environment
on a surface pro running windows 10
using VSCode as an editor, 
and cygwin as a terminal.

I am not able to get lilypond to use my fonts yet.

I was able to install them in windows itself,
since I can see them in the windows Fonts Settings.

To do this, I did some dragging & dropping, 
and some using "right-click > install" in the file navigator.

But when I compile my lilypond files,
the resulting files do not use the fonts.

When I run "lilypond -dshow-available-fonts",
while it does list numerous fonts,
it does not list the fonts I installed.

Specifically, I am using "Highlander ITC TT"
for chord symbols.  
This is how I specify it, and this works on my other systems:

  #(define fonts
    (make-pango-font-tree "Marker Felt"
                          "Highlander ITC TT"
                          "LilyJAZZText"
                           (/ myStaffSize 20)))


Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get lilypond to find these fonts?

FWIW, I'm running 2.23.2 on this machine, but I'm on 2.19.81 on my other machines.

Thanks,
