Re: psfonts problem with lilypond-book - strange behaviour?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I'm rather surprised that you have managed to use lilypond-book with the
flag --psfonts on Windows. Last time I tried, it only worked to use
lilypond-book --pdf songbook.lytex
pdflatex songbook

(make sure to first remove all old lily-*.* files from your working 
directory).
Hopefully, this will also solve your problem.

Anyway, the error message seems to be related to the font used in the title
(you can find the letters of the title, written backwords) in the 
"Operand stack".

Just a wild shot: have you edited the .ly file since last time it worked?
In that case, make sure that your editor hasn't changed the font encoding
for some silly reason. It should use UTF-8, nothing else.
