LilyPond's font handling is via pango, freetype2 is probably a  
dependency.
Doesn't have fink a command to list dependencies for packages?
Perhaps there are different varieties of pango/freetype?
(I use MacPorts, and there are some ports that you can install with  
different options.)

It's improbable that you want to use an X11 font with LilyPond. I  
can't imagine why that comes across.
What's your custom font setup?
