New issue 1312 by v.villenave: LilyPond may unrequestedly switch fonts when  
using non-roman scripts

included heavy PDF files.

"""
despite my text being in one non-roman script called Padauk Deemawso (a  
Burmese-based font), Lilypond seems to automatically change my font upon  
conversion to the Padauk font.  While Padauk is still Burmese based, it  
doesn't render correctly as the Padauk Deemawso is supposed to.

See attached.

We've had other issues related to non-occidental scripts in the past: see  
issue 541 and issue 689.
