Urs,
I missed the big discussion earlier, but has anyone mentioned FreeSerif?
Not that I recall ...
http://www.fontspace.com/gnu-freefont/freeserif
I'm getting some good results with lyrics. I particularly like that it has all
5
of the common English ligatures 0xFB00 - 0xFB04 (ff fi fl ffi ffl). Century
Schoolbook only has two (ff and fi).
Some or all of these characters may get mangled in the email delivery, but
here they are:
0xFB00 ff (ff)
0xFB01 fi (fi)
0xFB02 fl (fl)
0xFB03 ffi (ffi)
0xFB04 ffl (ffl)
test sentence with ligatures:
office flight raffle, final offer
test sentence, spelled out completely:
office flight raffle, final offer
I just could only look at the samples on the page you linked, but it
looks quite good and usable.
I will definitely do some tests.
Thanks for the hint.
TeXGyreSchola has good ligature support, too:

I think I actually tested it then, and its main problem is the same as
with LilyPond's Century: it's just too wide.
So no improvement in the sense of my original post.

But I prefer the look of FreeSerif.
