Yes, we have a feature request (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2042 ), but no one has done any work on it. > Where is the point in the code where I have to start?

I suppose that the proper way would be to create new glyphs in our fonts (using metafont, source file mf/feta-numbers.mf) and then adjust the format-bass-figure function (in scm/translation-functions.scm) to use those glyphs for the slashed figures. You could of course try to modify format-bass-figure without touching the fonts, but then it will always look like the figures in Robert Kelly's table, where a + or a ` is stacked onto a normal digit, clearly showing they are two different glyphs.
