Hugh,
You might want to look at the lyluatex package for LaTeX. It allows you to include LilyPond snippets in a LaTeX document processed with lualatex.I've used it to prepare a collection of Barbershop tags. LilyPond creates PDF files for each tag. LaTex handles the layout and prepares the indexes. I see there is also a lilyglyphs package available on CTAN that also might be useful for you.

There are quite a few font viewers out there for win10 and Linux, so that is not a problem. I've played around with writing code that writes the code for a type specimen sheet—perhaps now is the time to return to that project. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the
Emmentaler font. Thanks for the tip!!
Sorry, that's probably total rubbish from me. C059 just seems to be
some free text font. The other font in the test PDF is just
Emmentaler, so I suppose it must be letters from there. [I have never
quiet figured out what simple tool there is to view Emmentaler font
glyphs - must be something around.]
