Re: lyricsfont problem in lilypond 2.5.29 for windows

The normal answer would have been to ask you to run convert-ly on
your file. However, as far as I understand, this utility is missing
in the native distributions for the moment, so instead you have to
read the NEWS file:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/topdocs/out-www/NEWS.html
especially what it says about UTF-8
