I just trying to print lyrics in Ukrainian language.
I must manually hack lilypond and output file in to see Ukrainian text
in PDF file.

My locale is uk_UA.KOI8-U (I am Ukrainian).

To view text in Ukrainian language, latex header must look like this:

\usepackage[koi8-u]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,ukrainian]{babel}

You can get encoding and language name from locale name.

uk -> ukrainian
KOI8-U -> koi8-u


In .tex file, you use font cmr10(Computer Mathematics Roman 10pt) to
display lyrics. I just remove this mapping, because I don't know any
proper way to view Cyrillic letters with TeX commands without manual
remapping of Cyrillic letters to required positions (the job of the
inputenc package).

I define "\magfontWTDXBomMMBo" as
"\newcommand{\magfontWTDXBomMMBo}{\texttt\small}".


Then I generated .dvi file with LaTeX and .pdf with dvipdf (instead of
pstopdf).

See example files in attachment. (First two words in lyrics in English,
next three - in Ukrainian).

Can you modify lilypond to produce similar output automagicaly?
