We would have to be careful none of the snippets or even @lilypond
examples used other fonts - I am thinking perhaps if there are any
'Cyrillic' or 'Hebrew' type fonts. As doc building does actually build a
'snippet' document but not the entire LSR, this might cause us problems
or end up with 'missing' fonts in the snippets. I don't know how to
'quickly' check this and I am not sure if I would (when testing patches)
see any errors for missing fonts while compiling docs. I seem to recall
some fix we had a few months ago where the 'Pi' (?) Character was not
being displayed properly - or something like that.
