I never understood how the font-building goes on - and exactly what is
needed to install new versions.
To get it working, I have to

$ cd /usr/
$ clean-fonts
$ cd ~/lilypond/lilypond/
$ clean-fonts
$ make
$ make install

I always have problems when installing fonts. Sometimes lily also don't
sees that some of the characters change their sizes - and hence the
noteheads get typeset wrong (correct glyph but wrong stem-position).
Yes, you certainly have to clean-fonts before you re-make lily.
You don't have to remake from scratch, though. Just follow the above
procedure (where, ofcourse you substitute ~/lilypond/lilypond/ with your
lilypond directory).
If you have already done a make then this should go quite fast as the
2nd make will do nothing but mf'ing the new fonts.
