At some point we had code that figured out which font files were being
used in a score, when outputting the .ps.  See framework-ps.scm , look
for load-fonts.  It would be good to know why that stopped working.

The idea was to not reload fonts for every .ly file, but we should
have probably done profiling before going that complicated route.  The
40 is just an arbitrary number, to force a garbage collect of loaded
fonts.
