Re: umlaut trouble; was Weird output

David:

Can't help you with windows.

However on OS X (Lilypond 2.10.20) the italic umlauts printed fine.   
I used TexShop which is a confirmed "UTF-8 Unicode" editor.

Furthermore, your email (X-Enigmail-Version: 0.94.1.0; Content-Type:  
text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit) came  
through to my Apple Mail client including the umlauts.  As long as  
this was the original file you cut and pasted, I don't think your  
editor mangled it.

My SWAG:  Check what fonts are available on your machine.
