That's not a good idea since Lilypond will get the correctly
wrong impression on how wide the text is which results in
the wrong horizontal position. The recommended solution is to
use the text markup mechanism in Lilypond. An example can be
found in input/test/coriolan-margin.ly. The same mechanism
can be used to select the desired font.
