Yes, you need ToUnicode CMap to copy and paste characters from Adobe-Identity-0 (AI0) fonts. Current LilyPond does not embed the ToUnicode CMap. Noto CJK is an AI0 font. Therefore, you cannot copy and paste. If the font is not AI0, but Adobe-GB1 (AG1), Adobe-Japan1 (AJ1), etc., you do not necessarily need the ToUnicode CMap for copy and paste. To copy and paste, you can use HaranoAji fonts, which are AG1 or AJ1 fonts. HaranoAjiFontsCN (AG1 for Simplified Chinese) https://github.com/trueroad/HaranoAjiFontsCN HaranoAjiFonts (AJ1 for Japanese) https://github.com/trueroad/HaranoAjiFonts Here is a sample. ``` \version "2.22.0" \markup { \override #'(font-name . "HaranoAjiMincho") {English} \override #'(font-name . "HaranoAjiMinchoCN") % For Simplified Chinese {中文} \override #'(font-name . "HaranoAjiMincho") % For Japanese {にほんご} } ``` _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
