Re: Italic Greek and nonroman Unicode?

[stk]

Hi,

For getting italic Greek characters --

1) Do you have a font with italic Greek characters installed on your
computer?  (I don't on mine.)

2) If so, is that italic Greek font file included amongst the fonts that
your installation of LilyPond knows about?

If an italic Greek font is not available to Lily, it probably chooses a
best-fit font, which would be a Greek font with upright characters.

In addition, if the only italic Greek font you had installed were a
sans-serif font, then

   \markup { \italic \roman "G-r-e-e-k-c-h-a-r-s" }

would almost certainly *still* pick upright roman Greek as the best fit.
