Changing to Gonville font

Hello,

Section 3.4.4 of the instructions 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/replacing-the-notation-font.html)
 state:

"Download and extract the zip file. Copy the lilyfonts directory to 
‘SHARE_DIR/lilypond/current’; for more information, see Other sources of 
information. Move the existing fonts directory to fonts_orig and move the 
lilyfonts directory to fonts. Simply movefonts_orig back to fonts to revert 
back to Feta."

I think I interpreted the instructions but got this error (on OS X 10.7):

"error: connect find font: `emmentaler-brace'"

Could the authors please clarify and update the instructions in the manual? 
"Move directory to fonts_orig" means that there already is (or should be) a 
folder named "fonts_orig" and that the original folder named "fonts" should be 
placed inside of it. I think "Rename fonts directory to fonts_orig" is meant. 
(Obviously, either action would disable the original font.)

Similarly, "move the lilyfonts directory to fonts" means to place the folder 
named "lilyfonts" inside of the folder named "fonts." I'm guessing this is 
incorrect and that the instructions should read, "Move the 'lilyfonts' folder 
to the 'current' folder, then rename the 'lilyfonts' folder to 'fonts'."


Many thanks,

Albert
