I'm post this to both bug- and -user as I'm not sure what's going on. The following file is essentially self-explanatory:
%%% BEGIN LILYPOND FILE \version "2.10.20" %% On Windows \header { title = \markup { %% commenting out \italic allows proper rendering \italic "äëïöüÿ" } } \score { \relative c' { c1 } } %%% END LILYPOND FILE Leaving in '\italic' causes every umlaut to be rendered incorrectly. It's looks rather like a single curly quote on its side. I stumbled upon this problem in an odd way. My Linux laptop, where I prefer to do my Lily work had something go wrong. There's some problem with Xwindows. I was able to run it without X running and managed to upload some work I did not have duplicated elsewhere. I simply uploaded it to my web space and then downloaded it to another machine running Windows. I was making some minor edits (jEdit) and some test prints. All was well for a while. Then I noticed some anomalies. In a lyric an umlaut-a had become an upper case A with tilde followed by the universal currency symbol (I think). The lower case 'u' with grave was also different. This was obviously some sort of encoding issue. I would suppose something happened to these characters when they were placed on the web server, or on their way back to me. I was able to correct the 'u' with grave but not the umlaut-a nor any other umlauted vowel. It's puzzling as I have gone through and tried editing the input but in the case of the umlaut-a in the lyric line at prints as A-tilde currency in the PDF.
