I am not a developer, just a simple user.

But I must say I am a bit disappointed no developer (except Janek)
replied to your e-mail.

Some of these developers are known to grump at the lack of investment
(mainly from users) to help improving LilyPond.  And when a typographic
designer come with a music font and ask for help in order to run it
with LilyPond, these same developers simply ignore it!

Emilio, I guess you can ask for advise directly at Simon Tatham (the
author of Gonville), I cc him in this reply.

I would be pleased to hear about how you manage with this.

Cheers,
Xavier
