well, I used it with a former version of lilypond to get the same font
for lyrics as in latex. I used a pretty old version of "lilypond -k" 
which kept the tex output files where I could then replace the font with
the desired tex font.

See also my other post from today where I ask how I could get a font
like (in latex)

    \newfont{\lyfontFont}{texnansi-anttr scaled 1440}

for the lilypond lyrics.

I guess lilypond-book would perfectly do the job if I could manage to
get this font for the font lyrics.

I tried

    \override Score . LyricText #'font-name = #"texnansi-anttr"

but this didn't work.

I've on my (debian) system

    /usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/tfm/public/antt/texnansi-anttr.tfm

which can be used by latex, but apparently not by lilypond.
