Hi Wilbert,

I think you're well aware of how to dig behind the scenes and modify 
Lily's internal scheme files, so I can point you to this:
  https://codereview.appspot.com/108700043/
It's a proposal for a more refined font selection, bypassing Lily's 
default font name logic. It should be ready-to-use in recent versions, 
but it's not entirely in user space, since it needs to override a 
non-public scheme function in .../scm/font.scm.

At the same time, an honest thanks for the reminder to finally polish 
and integrate this patch...


HTH,
Alexander
