You are definitely on the right track. Try
text = \lyricmode
{
\override Score . LyricText #'font-name = "Vera Bold"
\override Score . LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
Glo- ri- a, ...
However, at least on my system, there is no italic version of Vera Bold.
For the font size, the manual tells that the font-size property is given
relative
to the value of the paper variable text-font-size, but it doesn't tell
how this is
set by default. By looking at the implementation, I found out that the
default
value of text-font-size is 12pt for the default 20pt staff size and in
general
12 / 20 * staff size.

Hello,
A week ago I started using Lilypond. So far it seems to have fabulous
possibilities. I only have one simple question.
I want to change the fontsize & fonttype of the lyrics in my file, but
can't find a way to do so. I will ad an example of one of my files.
Please tell me how to change these to (preferably) Palatino Linotype,
14pt.
Thanx
