Thanks Nathan,
Since posting, I've scanned the bug and devel groups, and it would appear I
am not being fashionable in wanting to do this. The trend seems to be toward
woff fonts for svg, is that the case?
I've also found Leigh Verlag's page which details the implementation of
other fonts so I'll try that. I like the look of having an include for
layout overrides anyway!
I notice 2.19.35 seems to have custom fonts built in, but Bravura is only
copied to otf, not to svg fonts. This also suggests a move away from svg
fonts to me. Any comment?
With regard to openlilylib.org being down, I did pass an old post which had
links to the other fonts, so I'll try and find that again.
