Joram,

It took some doing, but here's a solution for you. The text in a \tempo is
controlled in the MetronomeMark grob. Looking at the procedure for
formatting the text, there's no reason that I can see that 

\override Score.MetronomeMark.font-name = #"Century Schoolbook L"

shouldn't work, but it doesn't (bug report!). To get around this, you can
easily add a new text font-family and then set the MetronomeMark to that:

%< ----------------------------- SNIP

\version "2.18.2"

\paper { 
  fonts = # 
  (make-pango-font-tree 
   "Linux Libertine O" 
   "Linux Biolinum O" 
   "Ubuntu Mono" 
   (/ (* staff-height pt) 2.5))

  % HERE'S WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS :)
  (add-pango-fonts fonts 'tempoFont "Century Schoolbook L" (/ (*
staff-height pt) 2.5))
} 

% AND HERE'S THE OVERRIDE
\layout {
  \override Score.MetronomeMark.font-family = #'tempoFont
}

{ 
  \tempo \markup { Andante \italic con \bold moto \medium etc }
  a1^"Now it works!"
}

%< ----------------------------- SNIP

Now, the \layout and \paper blocks can go into your stylesheet. 

HTH,
Abraham
