David:
Can't help you with windows.
However on OS X (Lilypond 2.10.20) the italic umlauts printed fine.
I used TexShop which is a confirmed "UTF-8 Unicode" editor.
Furthermore, your email (X-Enigmail-Version: 0.94.1.0; Content-Type:
text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit) came
through to my Apple Mail client including the umlauts. As long as
this was the original file you cut and pasted, I don't think your
editor mangled it.
My SWAG: Check what fonts are available on your machine.

I'm post this to both bug- and -user as I'm not sure what's going on.
The following file is essentially self-explanatory:
%%% BEGIN LILYPOND FILE
\version "2.10.20" %% On Windows
\header {
title = \markup {
%% commenting out \italic allows proper rendering
\italic
"äëïöüÿ"
}
}
\score {
\relative c' {
c1
}
}
%%% END LILYPOND FILE
Leaving in '\italic' causes every umlaut to be rendered incorrectly.
It's looks rather like a single curly quote on its side.
I stumbled upon this problem in an odd way. My Linux laptop, where I
prefer to do my Lily work had something go wrong. There's some
problem
with Xwindows. I was able to run it without X running and managed to
upload some work I did not have duplicated elsewhere. I simply
uploaded
it to my web space and then downloaded it to another machine running
Windows. I was making some minor edits (jEdit) and some test prints.
All was well for a while. Then I noticed some anomalies. In a
lyric an
umlaut-a had become an upper case A with tilde followed by the
universal
currency symbol (I think). The lower case 'u' with grave was also
different. This was obviously some sort of encoding issue. I would
suppose something happened to these characters when they were
placed on
the web server, or on their way back to me.
I was able to correct the 'u' with grave but not the umlaut-a nor any
other umlauted vowel. It's puzzling as I have gone through and tried
editing the input but in the case of the umlaut-a in the lyric line at
prints as A-tilde currency in the PDF.
Help?
