There is no "Feta" font. It's called "Emmentaler", but it consists of two sub-sets of glyphs: "Feta" (the classical notation glyphs) and "Parmesan" (the ancient notation glyphs). 2. Since Emmentaler comes in 8 different optical sizes, the commands to load them only require the root name "emmentaler" to load them all. 3. The fonts are located, not in the system's font directory(s), but in the program's own font folder, typically "[LilyPondDir]/usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/". 4. To use Emmentaler (or whichever is the main font, if using an alternative) for a grob that supports the font-interface, it can be set via the 'font-family property, but the value isn't 'emmentaler, it's 'feta (sigh). It's a shorter name, which is nice, but it isn't _technically_ accurate. 5. In a \markup, the fonts can be accessed directly with the real font name, like "emmentaler-23". 6. In the NR, section A.8 is entitled "The Feta font", but the opening line starts out with "The following symbols are available in the Emmentaler font..." In other words, there's some inconsistency floating around.
