I haven't looked into that either, I just *assume* that one can override 
the default behaviour with a custom presentation.

Yes, PyQt5.

As said this is actually available to see in the "Document Fonts" dialog 
(I think it's in the "Snippets" menu in the released version). On my 
computer it takes a significant time to load, is pretty unpractical 
since the drop-down is a multiple of my screen height - and it's not 
clear whether it shows the fonts that are actually visible to LilyPond.
