A simple way to change the instrument name font for all the staves
is to use an override in the layout block.

  \layout {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \override InstrumentName #'font-name = #"My Font"
    }
  }

If you have PianoStaff or StaffGroup do the same but replacing
\Staff by the corresponding context.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Xavier
