Lilypond does not propperly render Chords when used with --png
I'm truing to compile a lilypond score with the --png option. For some reason the chords do not get compiled properly when using this option. Running lilypond without the --png option works fine. The PDF file comes out as as expected, only the PNG file looks like this:

This is the code I'm using:

version "2.18.2"

#(set-global-staff-size 30)
include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"

paper {
ragged-last = ##f
}

header {
title = "Title"
subtitle = markup { null }
tagline = ##f
}

score {
<<
new ChordNames chordmode { c1 d1:m e1:m f1 }
{ set chordChanges = ##t }
new Staff { relative c' { c1 d e f }}
addlyrics { lyricmode { tiny good mor -- ning all. }}
>>
layout { }
midi { }
}

Some System INFOS:

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-686-pae
Architecture: x86
Lilypond Version: 2.18.2-11`

Ghostscript: 9.22~dfsg-1

I tried to compile with different fonts, by adding:

paper {
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman"
"Nimbus Sans"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}

PDF output again works fine, --png output looks like this:

This seems to be a problem rather related to ghostscript then lilypond

Using Century Schoolbook L instead of Times New Roman:

paper {
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Century Schoolbook L"
"Nimbus Sans"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}

finally worked:

Thanks again to the support from Channel: #lilypond on Freenode!
