Thanks for the hints, I will look into them (although you're right they 
aren't very good for lyrics).
Antykwa Toruńska looks nice (I knew the other ones already).
And I found Antykwa Półtawskiego on that page, which has plenty of 
weights. I will try this one out and see how it looks in the score context.
