I think you're basically right with everything here. But I think that does *not* call for updating Emmentaler with kerning pairs but rather for finally making Emmentaler (and LilyPond) SMuFL compliant by - storing the glyphs in the SMuFL-defined code points - providing them with SMuFL compliant metrics - make LilyPond look them up the SMuFL way and using the metrics (which probably differ from the current ones) With that in place LilyPond's fonts may more generally be used, and LilyPond is more likely to be able to use third-party fonts too.
