Oh, boy. My phone's auto-correct... That should read "Pango".
Anyway, I realized I didn't give you a very complete (or correct) solution.
So, let's try again. The \paper block should look like this (and this
should be below any #(set-global-staff-size ...) because that resets the
"fonts" variable and you need to add to it):
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\paper {
#(add-pango-fonts fonts 'minion "Minion Pro" (/ staff-height pt 20))
bookTitleMarkup = ##f
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
\override #'(font-family . 'minion)
\fromproperty #'header:title
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Now, the font choice should propagate through to the \italic command.
HTH,
Abraham
