Hi!

I'm using lilypond 2.14.1 under CygWin 2.7, and have a large number of
fonts I've accumulated over the decades.

I have set up my lilypond files to use fonts I like in \paper:

  #(define fonts
    (make-pango-font-tree "Centaur MT"
                          "ITC Eras"
                          "Prestige Elite"
                           (/ myStaffSize 20)))

And this works exactly as expected, so long as I use standard ASCII
characters. Once I add Cyrillic (e.g., "Был у Хри -- ста, мла -- ден -- ца
сад,"), lilypond starts using Verdana.

I think I understand why -- the three old PFB fonts I selected don't
support Unicode. But I can't figure out how lilypond figured out that it
needed to override my font choice or how it chose the font it did
(Verdana). I would like to convince lilypond to use Times New Roman or
Garamond.

All clues gratefully received!
Thanks,
Fred
