You mean the font doesn't have a 'glyf' table, right? Then you
obviously have `Roboto-Regular.otf` – this font comes with a 'CFF '
table instead. AFAIK, LilyPond supports such OpenType fonts just
fine.

Hmm. My version of `Roboto-Regular.otf` (2.00, 2019-12-11) actually
has glyph names.

It's not clear to me what exactly the problem is. Please elaborate.
