Mats, I think I figured it out, sort off. The Maltese cross character
(U+2720) is part of the dingbats unicode code block. On a windows XP
machine this character is part of the Wingdings font family. The
Wingdings
fonts do not have unicode definitions. So Lilypond gets confused and
Jedit
gets confused. Thanks for your help.
in openoffice , the Wingdings code for this character is shown as F0AA =
61528 (decimal)
To obtain this character, you have to type in JEdit
Alt + 61528
It give you a "X" symbol but lilypond convert it in the right font
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.10.25"
\score {
c'1^\markup { \override #'(font-name . "Wingdings") {X}}
}
