Are your fonts installed for all users or just your own account?  Back 
in the day, fonts were always stored system-wide in %WinDir%\Fonts.  At 
some point, Microsoft introduced an option for user-specific fonts which 
are located in %LocalAppData%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts.  Depending 
on how LilyPond enumerates fonts, it might only be picking up the 
system-wide ones.
