Comment #25 on issue 1752 by percival.music.ca: redesigning G clef in our  
Feta font

The "critical regression" thing was a complete brain fart from me and  
should be scornfully ignored.  I also now agree that the idea of an  
\override for this specific glyph should be dropped.

However, I am aghast that the "font switching architecture" is going  
nowhere.  As far as I understand it,
  1. we can switch to a different OTF font.  (aka "gonville")
  2. we *CANNOT* switch to a different metafont font ?
This sounds ludicrous to me.  Is #2 actually true?  if it is, then would  
fixing it require more than 30 minutes of work?

I feel as though I'm missing something here.
