LaTeX isn't used by LilyPond anymore, it generates Postscript
directly. Also, the default text font isn't CM anymore, the
serif font now defaults to New Century Schoolbook.
I'm not an expert on pango (which is used to find the fonts),
so I have no idea how to debug why you get a sans serif font
for your lyrics text (the title is OK, right?).
