IIRC, I've already suggested the `correct' way to avoid all of these
problems:

  . Provide an input encoding mapping which maps input codes to glyph
    entities.  It's easiest to use glyph names for that.

  . Internally, LilyPond only uses those glyph entities.

  . Provide an output encoding mapping which maps glyph entities to
    output entities (either glyph slots or glyph names).

Using this scheme, you can choose *any* input and output encoding,
being completely independent from the nasty details.

Example:


     0xDF (`ß')                           % in input file
        |
        | latin-1-lilypond.inenc
        |
        V
   `germandbls'                           % in lilypond
        |
        | lilypond-EC.outenc              % font-dependent
        |
        V
    /germandbls                           % in output file

My proposed lilypond-EC.outenc is not necessarily the same as the
PostScript vector in EC.enc -- the latter can hold only 256 glyphs,
while the former should be able to handle any number of entities.  At
a later stage, you can implement the usage of multiple PS vectors to
address more than 256 glyphs in a (single) Type 1 font.

Have a look at groff's grops driver for PS output (version 1.19 or
newer).
