I guess the large attachments didn't make it to the mailing list.
I took a quick look at the postscript files, comparing to the corresponding
files when I run the example here.
A few details I noticed:
- In your title, you get an ordinary e, not the é (are you sure that you
didn't replace the é by an e in your input?). The corresponding
lines of the generated Postscript code are
gsave /e glyphshow grestore 2.04859842519685 0.0 rmoveto
in your output file and
gsave /eacute glyphshow grestore 2.04859842519685 0.0 rmoveto
in my output file.
- The é shows nicely in the lyrics.
- What really is missing in your test.ps is not the accented character, but
the "ij" in Fréijor. It seems that on your installation, the "ij" is
typeset
as a ligature (two characters combined into a single symbol):
gsave /ij glyphshow grestore 2.5180688976378 0.0 rmoveto
whereas on my installation, they are typeset as two separate characters:
gsave /i glyphshow grestore 1.28037401574803 0.0 rmoveto
gsave /j glyphshow grestore 1.23769488188976 0.0 rmoveto
In the lyrics, the "i" and "j" are split into separate syllables, so
that's
probably why it works there.
- When looking at the header of your tests.ps, the embedded font
definitions
for CenturySchL-Bold and CenturySchL-Roma contain the corresponding
definitions for the "ij" ligature:
/itilde 536 def /Ibreve 537 def /ibreve 538 def /IJ 539 def /ij 540 def
which are missing in my output file. This information comes from the
test.psfonts file, which in turn emanates from the file
/usr/share/lilypond/2.7.35/fonts/otf/CenturySchL-Bold.ttf
(or wherever your LilyPond installation resides).
It turns out that on my installation, this file is generated based on
the corresponding font file in my Ghostscript installation.
I recompiled the corresponding part of my LilyPond installation,
using the font files from /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/ of my
Redhat installation instead. Then the \ij glyph is defined in the font
definition, but LilyPond still typesets them as two separate characters
instead of using the ligature. My guess is that I might have an older
version of pango or whatever font related library.
So, how does this help you? Probably not at all. I can't explain why the
\ij ligature doesn't display in your test.ps file, whereas it does show up
in your lily-927377941-1.eps (which doesn't contain any font definitions,
so the default fonts works in Ghostscript or whatever Postscript viewer
you have).
Hopefully, I have at least provided a few hints that other who have more
competence in font handling and Postscript can use to provide a solution.

looking at the postscript files, the snippets look ok, but the resulting
test.ps is missing the charactaers as you can see int the attached files

I tried your example here and it works without problems, using
LilyPond 2.7.35 on a Redhat Enterprise machine.
What I noticed when comparing the resulting PDF files, was that
yours listed CenturySchL-Roma as a Type1 font, whereas in mine
file it was listed as a TrueType font.
Did you try to look at the PostScript file?

I don't agree fully with Erik's comment. What happens is that the
embedded LilyPond code should be saved with UTF-8 encoding, whereas
the rest of the LaTeX code should be saved with latin1 encoding.
Since there probably isn't any text editor that supports saving a file
with different character encodings for different sections of the same
file, it's probably easiest to write the LilyPond code in separate
files and use \lilypondfile{} in the LaTeX document. Then you can
easily use different character encodings for the main document and the
LilyPond code.
that's what i'm actually doing, i use UTF-8 encoding for the .ly
document and IS0-8859-15 for the .tex document.
following the input for lilypond-book and the output generated.

Quoting René Brandenburger <address@hidden>:
hmm, using te LaTeX code results in the printed out LaTeX code with ij
still missing :-(
I tried without the accented character (setting title = "'T as Freijor",
and still the ij is missing in the output as shown in the attached
image. Didn't try the UTF-8 version yet.

Hi,
i have a little score with the word "Fréijor" in the header field.
Running it through lilipond just works fine, but running it through
lilypond-book and postprocessing with latex, dvips and ps2pdf, in the
resulting pdf the header shown is actually "Fré or" as shown in the
attached file. The lyrics are ok.
I think you need to either use the LaTeX code for é, "\`e", or use the UTF-8
capable version of latex (look for latex-ucs). Both suggestions are untested
though.
