I must be missing something important :-/.
I can see the Hebrew characters in gedit (and katoob) but the postcript
output from lilypond doesn't show them.

[On the practical side: How do you input Hebrew characters in gedit?]

Same thing, I tried with one of your scores which has a Yiddish title
("pdf" downloaded from your web site), but when I compiled it here,
the non-latin characters didn't show up.

[The Hebrew fonts are installed, and I can use them e.g. in Gimp.]
