Actually, I'm not sure that's what Hans was asking. There was some work done on a font for Ekmelic microtonal music that ended up being called Ekmelily for its use with LilyPond:

You might want to look at this. They created their own font for the accidentals and used a custom file that made them accessible with relative ease. This font is installed in the "normal" system location and there's only one to worry about. It's pretty cool!
