I'm afraid you have to hack some initialization files in Lilypond
to achieve this. One solution is given in 
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg05514.html
but as I wrote recently in another mail on gnu-music-discuss, 
it would be even better if we could select the font encoding 
separately without overriding the other font selection parameters. 

I've done some thinking and don't think it's too hard to implement.
If I just had some time to do it.
