thanks for your response, Graydon. Since my post I did further investigation, and you're right; I was mistaken in thinking that the characters I was inserting were in the UTF-8 encoding. I am using debian testing, and just installed the latest stable lilypond. I generated the characters with accents using the character palette Gnome panel applet, but I guess they are not UTF-8 encoded. Here is an example, e with accent aigue: é. It appears as it is supposed to in my usual editors (pico, nedit). On the other hand, in a working example with German accents which I downloaded from lilypond, the special characters don't look like what they are supposed to represent in these editors. I need to figure out how to generate the characters I want in the correct encoding. Do you have any suggestions?--Jim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/UTF-8-encoding-problems-t1492122.html#a4046288 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com.
