Are you sure you're viewing them in a console which is capable of handling the necessary glyphs? (konsole, from KDE, certainly is, but I can't speak to much else.) There are two obvious ways -- One is to use the 'Multi_key' feature of X11 and compose the characters -- this is a handy thing to map the keyboard "Windows" keys to -- as Multi_key + char + char; to get e accent aigue, I would type Windows + e + '. The other is to use the Unicode character picker in Open Office, (Insert->Special Character) which will certainly give you the right code point. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
