A difficult matter

On the other hand, I think it ought to be the name of a British cheese, so I prefer Treble Gloucester to the other punning names.

Or maybe "Cathedral Ditty", "Colston Bass"?

Also, I recall the Acorn tradition of naming fonts after Cambridge colleges. So what's really needed is a three-way pun between a Cambridge college, a cheese and a musical term.

But I can't think of one. )-8

Allegronville & Cheese?

OK, maybe not.

There's potential in Caius/cheese/keys, but it's hard to come up with one phrase where all three meanings are apparent. "Gonville & Keese" doesn't quite do it.

...and someone else had almost the same idea at the same time.

I could just call it "Gonville", which is a decently respectable font name, and let all of that be implicit. Hmmm.

I quite like that approach.

I observe that name is one that Acorn seem to have managed to avoid.

I like this suggestion quite a bit.

In a similar can't-quite-make-it-work way, there's potential in cheeses/Jesus/Gsus.

And I was trying to make something from Emma and emmental, but I can't find a musical angle; maybe someone who knows more musical terms can think of one?

I think Emmental is out anyway, because it's one of the cheeses Lilypond has already used.

That's a shame; I'd just got as far as "EmmanTallis"

Of course, Lincolnshire Poacher is both a British cheese and a traditional British folk song...
