You need a text editor that handles the UTF-8 encoding of characters,
and you must save your file in this encoding. Then you'll get your
characters.

I too am having the same problem. I am using jedit, which is wonderful, but completely new to me. How do I force it to the UTF-8 encoding. I have done several things that I think should have done it, but some definate direction would be nice.

Downloaded the "new" native lilypond 2.5.29-2  and have been trying it
out but I'm still resorting to my "old" 2.4.2 in Cygwin for serious
editing. One problem I  have  run into in my try outs is  with the
fonts for  lyrics.
As a speaker of nordic tongues i.e. Swedish and Finnish I have need of
the special forms for a and o ( i.e. å, ä and ö symbols). In the Old
Lily2.4.2/ Cygwin these are no problem as I get them  whitout any
special comands (as in words but not as in LaTex  which needs special
comands to get these symbols). In the new  native lily I do'nt get
them at all as the program only leavs them out. Is this a problem of
fonts missing or a Bug/ project under dewelopement?   As this (at
least fore me) is a severe drawback  in using the new  native one.
Would be glad for help/ corection et.c.
