Maybe my question is not clear? Or am I just spoiled by the quick
answers I'm used to get in this mailing list?

I think this is an issue, unless I'm missing something.
Let's say I want to write a tablature book using a different font for
tablature. If just one song in the book contains \deadNote, I'm forced
to use Feta in all the songs; or just in that song, losing consistency
with the rest.

Here's a minimal example.
Please let me know what you think about it.


\version "2.13.58"

music = \relative c' {
  % try any font in your system other than Feta
  \override TabStaff.TabNoteHead #'font-name = #"Nimbus Sans L Bold"
  c4 d \deadNote dis e |
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff { \clef "G_8" \music }
    \new TabStaff { \clef "moderntab" \music }
  >>
}
