 Great!
Is your goal, like Guthenburg, to make a few e's etc, to simulate the
variability of handwriting also?
Would that be possible within lilypond?

Btw, I have found an antiqua font:

which could be useful. The copyright seems to be

  Hope the ghost of Guyot looks good enough for your designs. Have a
  blast with it. If you use it commercially, give something to your

handle the diftongs or the cases where there is two variant of the same
letter.

Is any who knows how to include tex's yfrak frakture fonts?
