LilyPond does not embed fonts in svg output. Is this possible in general,
like in pdf files? 
lilypond-book-preamble.ly only works with the eps backend, not with the svg
one. 

AFAIK, there have been questions and discussions on the list about both of
those issues, but no solutions available yet.

100% agreed.  :)
Another solution would be a working pdf import for LibreOffice. But that
seems to be still a long way to go as well. 

Cheers,
