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?
Well, I don't know yet -- it would definitely be userfull for the
samples taken from handwritten fonts. But what rules apply for the
substitution? And should the font handle it itself (otf-features,
maybe), or should it be built into lily?

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
favourite charity, will ya?
I will try to make it usable within lilypond, though I don't know how to
handle the diftongs or the cases where there is two variant of the same
letter.
So far I thought only about the notation fonts, but you are right, there
should be also a nice looking roman font. DayRoman would be nearly
perfect for imitation of printed editions from the 16 century. About the
copyright I am not so sure -- lily should per default only inlcude parts
that can also freely be used for buisness stuff. On the other hand the
sentence doesn't oblige anybody but is a mere whish.
Is any who knows how to include tex's yfrak frakture fonts?
Couldn't they be converted to otf and then used easyly via the system
installation for fonts or then included into lily as a choice. Actually
how did Laura Conrad use her "Fraktur" fonts in LilyPond?
