Oliver, Normally, you can also try using an explicit call to grab the unicode character, as outlined here:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/special-characters#unicode <http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/special-characters#unicode> However, the error you are experiencing appears to be caused by the default roman font (Century Schoolbook L), which does not contain the Unicode character you are looking for. You may need to try a different font <http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/fonts#entire-document-fonts> . Since you are putting this character in lyrics, you can do a simple override to just the lyrics font using this: \layout { \context { \Score \override LyricText #'font-name = "FONT NAME HERE" } } I'm not sure how many fonts out there support this character (or any others you may need), but a quick search showed three options that support very many Unicode characters. These are: - DejaVu font family (DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif, DejaVu Sans Mono) - Free font family (FreeSans, FreeSerif, FreeMono) - Droid font family (Droid Sans, Droid Serif, Droid Sans Mono) I can confirm that each font family has the character you mentioned. Since you are using Linux, these should be installed on your system, or you should be able to get them easily since they are all freely available online. Good luck! -Abraham -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Missing-font-for-IPA-character-tp163108p163111.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
