Ok, we're probably looking at the wrong problem. If symlinks don't
work, and kpsewhich doesn't work... It may be that cygwin programs
can't see the directories you point the variables at. You'll have
to do some investigating yourself, there's really not much I can
do now. Where have you mounted your MikTeX drive?
I would suggest you try running lilypond from bash. Start bash,
use ls to see where the miktex tree is, set the TEXFONTS variable,
(or TEXMF or TEXMFCNF) check it, and run lilypond:
c:\>bash
$ ls /mnt/c/miktex-1.20
bibtex/ dvips/ fonts/ metafont/ tex/ ttf2tfm/
doc/ fontname/ makeindex/ mft/ ttf2pfb/
$ find /mnt/c/miktex-1.20 -name cmr10.tfm
/mnt/c/miktex-1.20/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
$ export TEXFONTS=/mnt/c/miktex-1.20/fonts/tfm/public/cm
$ ls $TEXFONTS/cmr10.tfm
/mnt/c/miktex-1.20/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
$ kpsewhich cmr10.tfm
/mnt/c/miktex-1.20/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
$ lilypond american-chords.ly
Something like this should work. Here's something else to try:
12:25:29 appel ~$ mkdir -p /tmp/foebar/fonts/some/weird/dir/layout/tfm
12:25:33 appel ~$ touch /tmp/foebar/fonts/some/weird/dir/layout/tfm/cmr10.tfm
12:25:42 appel ~$ TEXFONTS=/tmp/foebar/fonts/some/weird/dir/layout/tfm kpsewhich
cmr10.tfm
/tmp/foebar/fonts/some/weird/dir/layout/tfm/cmr10.tfm
Greetings,
Jan.
