Yes this works, but is this the most elegant/simplest way to get these
files?

If it is then that is fine, we just need to document this so that we
don't get too many questions on the lily-dev mailing list about how to
install 'a commit' or if they don't install these fonts if it will
prevent 'them' being able to build LilyPond.

I have other questions though, but these shouldn't stop this patch but I
think it would be useful to understand if not just for me but other
developers that might not understand 'font stuff' as much as yourself
and Werner.

1. If you look here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor-big-page.html#requirements-for-running-lilypond

we already list a number of 'font requirements'. Does including TexGyre
and now these URW++ fonts mean that all/some/none of these font pacakges
we currently document can now be removed as a requirement? (e.g.
texlive-lang-cyrillic).

2. The same question but for
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor-big-page.html#requirements-for-building-documentation

Thanks again for your explanations.
