Klaus,

Urs has pointed you to the easiest way (thanks, Urs!) and you can copy +
paste it right into your file. Here's an abridged version for a single font
(it should come AFTER you set the global staff size and set the global
document fonts), which might be better if you don't have all the others
installed:

  \paper {
    #(add-music-fonts fonts 
        'improviso  ; the font-family name
        "improviso"   ; the music font
        "improviso"   ; the brace font
        feta-design-size-mapping  ; don't change this
        (/ staff-height pt 20))  ; don't change this either
  }

You can also download a pre-made stylesheet that automatically has this
built-in from  fonts.openlilylib.org
<http://fonts.openlilylib.org/docs.html#stylesheets>  . Coincidentally, it
is also called "font-register.ily" like on the site that Urs pointed you to.
However, it attempts to make ALL the alternative fonts available to your
file, which may be a problem if they aren't all installed. 

Once that is in your LilyPond path and "\include"-ed in your file, then all
you have to do is

  \override [GROB].font-family = #'improviso

for any GROB you want to change to Improviso and back with

  \revert [GROB].font-family

Regards,
Abraham
