I have (and still) used Gonville. For Windows I simply take the contents of the .zip file that is on the Gonville site and then I rename the '...\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\fonts' dir to 'fonts_orig' and move the fonts dir from the Gonville zip file to the same location, that way when I want to switch back I rename the two folders accordingly, nothing more is needed. I do the same for Mac OS X (although it is slightly more convoluted because you have to use terminal.app than drag/drop and the $PATH is subtly different) and I am 'guessing' the principle for Linux is identical except he provides a script (on the website) that 'automates' the process, creates symlinks IIRC, but I haven't used LilyPond on Linux to know for sure. There are some 'missing' fonts from Gonville - which the owner states on his website - so that you cannot use it with Ancient Notation for example and I think some other glyphs may not be available, I haven't tried to the run the reg tests with Gonville to see. I wouldn't really know how to go about incorporating this into our source tree else I'd offer to help. I'd contact the author directly. Last year when I helped write what documentation we have on it in our NR, and he was very helpful, and patient with me. I am sure he would be flattered that his font could be in the main source.
