It would be possible to use that text font with LilyPond, but it would not
be easy. You can use Unicode characters in LilyPond, and the special
characters are almost certain to have a Unicode representation.  But it is
not likely to be easy for a novice to do.

There may be somebody on the list who is willing to work through this with
you, but it's not really a LilyPond issue, as LilyPond is not likely to be
modified by the current development team to work with a proprietary font.

So my recommendation is to just stick to the available LilyPond fonts.
