Hmm, no replies: I'm a bit disappointed; doesn't anybody experience this
problem?

Here is further information.
I ran

$ lilypond -b svg lily.ly

where "lily.ly" is a utf8 encoded file (here attached again) containing
Hebrew characters.
I then opened it with "gimp" and saved it as "png" [1].  The resulting
image is also attached [2].
As you can see, the Hebrew characters are there.
So, what's the problem that would cause the default backend not to produce
these characters?
Or is the problem further down (ghostscript et al.)  [If that's the case,
I'll report the bug against the "gs-gpl" Debian package.]


Best regards,
Gilles

[1] I tried first the "png" backend, but it failed with:

/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.3/ly/init.ly:36:1: error: GUILE signaled an error for 
the expression beginning here
#
 (if (pair? toplevel-scores)unbound variable: output-framework

/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.3/ly/init.ly:36:5: error: syntax error, unexpected '(', 
expecting '='
#(if
     (pair? toplevel-scores)
error: failed files: "lily.ly"

[2] The svg output of music is seriously messed up.  A known bug?
    But this is for another thread...
