The reason it breaks the \italic is because you don't tell LilyPond that
there _is_ an italic variant when all you do is override the font-name like
that.
The better way would be to add a text font to the "fonts" tree because it
looks for the four standard family members (regular, italic, bold, and
bold-italic). I think the scheme function is "add-text-fonts". You can find
how it's used in the file [LILYDIR]/scm/font.scm.
With the font family added (let's say it's the 'minion family), you the
change to it with
\markup {
\override #'(font-family . 'minion)
...
}
And if Pangolin found the italic variant, you shouldn't need to do anything
else other than \italic like normal.
Best,
Abraham
