European Characters in Lyrics

[Rob V]

I got the Lilypond 2.4.2 for Cygwin working.  Thanks Bertalan.  Adding both 
mirror sites and downloading some more files fixed it.  

After updating my files to 2.4.2, I noticed that all the syllables with 
European characters were shifted a little to the left.  They were entered like 
"tie\\v{z}".  I found one email on the mail-archive that European characters 
can be entered in directly.  The ones in the example, ß, ü, ä, ö, ç, worked 
fine.  But I need characters like Č, č, Ď, ď, Ň, 
ň, Š, š, ä, é, and í.  I got these characters into my text file as Unicode 
text, because some don’t seem to exist in the ASCII encoding.  When I save my 
file in Unicode format, Lilypond ignores the file.  When I save it in ASCII 
format, I can’t get these characters.

How can I get these characters in my lyrics and have them line up correctly?

Rob
