Denemo is available for Windows, see http://denemo.sourceforge.net/.
gv is a postscript previewer, the Windows version is called GSview, see
http://www.ghostscript.com/
However, LilyPond produces PDF files as well, so you can use Acrobat
Reader.

If you downloaded it during the last weeks, following the instructions
at http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html, the Type1 font files
are available in
C:\cygwin\usr\share\lilypond\2.0.1\fonts\type1\
All symbols in the fonts (well, at least the fetaNN.pfa and
parmesanNN.pfa files) are documented at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Feta-font.html#The%20Feta%20font
