This will fail with a pango-error for args like  "fööbar":
(process:11556): Pango-WARNING **: 22:04:29.548: Invalid UTF-8 string
passed to pango_layout_set_text()
warning: no glyph for character U+FFFD in font
`/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreschola-regular.otf'

With my lily-guilev2 build it works out of the box.

For guilev1 one would likely need something like Arnold's code. Most
recent version probably here:

Maybe something newer/superior out there?


Cheers,
