1. How to tell lilypond how to use a particular font for titles.
\header{
title = \markup{\override #'(font-name . "Old English") "Your Title"}
}
It
would be preferable to have a variable that I could set for all my
files, so that saying:
For my setup I redefined the whole titling, see bookTitleMarkup in the
paper block:

2. How to install an Old English like font onto my ubuntu 10.10 system
that I can use the above trick on. It looks like finding one should
be easier than turning the hge.mf file I have into something that
current lilypond could make use of, but so far I haven't figured out
how to do either one. Can anyone help?
Pango (LilyPond’s font library) should find every font that is
installed "normally" in your system, so I guess your questions are:
- Where do I find a suitable font?
--> e.g. at dafont.com or any other of these free font sites. Or buy
one at myfonts.com or any other vendor.
- How do I install a font on Ubuntu?
--> copy it into /usr/share/fonts/truetype (or similar) or ~/.fonts
--> it should also work to doubleclick that file and click "install"
--> see e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275202
You can also keep the font in the same directory as your lilypond score.
- How do I refresh Pango’s font database?
--> run fc-cache
