Hi,
Hi Tom,
Just adding answers in here for posterity in the archive ...
For getting italic Greek characters --
1) Do you have a font with italic Greek characters installed on your
computer? (I don't on mine.)
Yes, which is visible when, say, you check the fonts menu in a GUI
program like InDesign.
2) If so, is that italic Greek font file included amongst the fonts that
your installation of LilyPond knows about?
No, and this turned out to be precisely the problem. This is visible
running -dshow-available-fonts and the solution for how to work this
out under OS X is here ...

If an italic Greek font is not available to Lily, it probably chooses a
best-fit font, which would be a Greek font with upright characters.
In addition, if the only italic Greek font you had installed were a
sans-serif font, then
\markup { \italic \roman "G-r-e-e-k-c-h-a-r-s" }
would almost certainly *still* pick upright roman Greek as the best fit.
Right, and this is exactly what happens until you teach lily about the
location of the correct font using fondu.
