That's what i mean. Free software needs funding too :)

Precisely. It makes sense to fund a public resource.
If you see something close to what you want Playfair for example,
you could ask the designer to make a version with less contrast as
Libre software and fund that work. He probably has a lower contrast
version already.
Actually, I would rather like to have a font which exactly clones the
old lyrics font. But this is probably me only.
This points to one problem I see with this approach:
If one wanted to create something new (or rework something existing)
there would be _much_ discussion to do. And I don't know if this would
lead to some agreement.
I recall the heated debate when Janek retouched the single glyph of the
treble clef and don't dare to imagine the potential conflicts when it
comes to a whole font.
Basically everybody in this discussion has different needs and opinions.
What a new font would imply wouldn't be less than a new visual
appearance for LilyPond (even if considered as an optional addition).
I'm afraid that's way over my head to engage in (at least currently).
