Exactly, that's it!

I did use a Cyrillic font indeed, but inside that font, I could not find
yet the characters corresponding with 'zhuh' and 'yah'. :)
What I did was make a lyric with all characters a - z, both in capital
as in small, once printing them using
\property LyricsVoice . LyricText \override #'font-name = #"cmr12"
which gives the roman fonts, and once with
\property LyricsVoice . LyricText \override #'font-name = #"wncyr10"
which I then had to magnify by 1.2 because the wncyr12 isn't there.
Only, as I said, the 'yah' and 'zhuh' didn't come out using this method.
Various accented chars give error messages, others gives garbage.
But I have the feeling that I didn't explore the full character set yet
with this method, so maybe they are somewhere inside the font, but I
just don't seen to be able to find them.

Thanks,
