Can't you send them the
font you use as well as the template?

Okay, I appreciate the helpfulness, but a lot of you are
missing the point. The recipients will be editing the files

Wouldn't it be possible to write a scheme function that tests a list of
fonts whether the font is available and returns the first that is?
I don't know scheme and the font handling, so I can't do it.

I mean, if I write a .ly file that specifies fonts (fonts
that I have on my own computer), and I give that file to
somebody else to compile on his/her own
Do you mean for input?
Output to PDF embeds the font, so no requirement for it to be present
in recipients system.

Is there a way to have a
cascade of font selections, likewith CSS?

Is there a way to have a cascade of font selections, like
with CSS? In CSS, you can do things like:
{font-family:"Lucida Console", Monaco, monospace}
And if Lucida Console isn't installed on a user's system,
Monaco will be looked up, and if that's not installed, then
the user's default monospace
