LilyPond embeds all needed fonts in its PDFs, so there's no need to  
install the fonts anywhere.

But I had complaints about "wrong" PDFs myself, I could never resolve  
what the error caused.

Maybe
- some versions of LilyPond had bugs so that not all fonts were  
embedded (definitely not V.2.10.33)
- some versions of some PDF viewers can't handle the Feta font
