Hi Mats.
If you provide a small example file, it's much easier to provide
an answer. How do you write these characters in the input file?
If you specify them using the TeX codes such as "\k a", then
LilyPond has no chance to calculate the correct metrics. However,
if you input them into the file using latin2 encoding (or whatever
character set is relevant), use
\header{
...
inputencoding = "latin2"
}
I usually use UTF-8 encoding for everything, but since I could not get
lilypond to work with that, I used the TeX way to do it, i.e. \k{} etc. So
I'll try to figure out an eight-bit encoding for that polish stuff. (I don't
have any idea of polish, I just typeset it.)
Note that this only applies to version 2.2. Version 2.4 is limited to
latin1 whereasthe latest development versions and the upcoming stable
2.6 series work with UTF8 which solves all these problems.
I have 2.2.x and 2.5.20 installed, and I realized that the TeX backend is
not working properly in 2.5.20. Since ecrm ist not the font I intend to use,
I have some trouble with 2.5.x. My favourite font has all the required
glyphs only as a TeX virtual font (vf), so pango/fontconfig does not like
it. TeX's fontinst does a woderful job at creating all those glyhps from
unaccented letters and separate accents. Much better than FontForge. So I'm
tempted to continue using the TeX backend withits virtual fonts, i.e. using
2.2.
thanks for your answer
Stefan
PS: I'm sorry that I'm not able to reply to the ML or to provide a proper
example file of my problem; my main computer's network interface is broken,
so I'm forced to use webmail right now. If you think that this mail is worth
the effort, feel free to forward it to the ML.
