New issue 1522 by address@hidden: Windows - problem with  
accented characters in file name
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1522

Zoltan Selyem reports:

The latest Windows versions have problems with accents (national  
characters) in the path or file name. MIDI is produced (if there is a \midi  
block), but no pdf.

A simple example gives:

Converting to `/kórus/example.pdf'...failed (0): gs: Invalid string in  
argument vector at 10: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

He reports it as a regression between 13.46 and 13.47.

Eluze reports:

2.13.47 and above have the error mentioned if the *file* has an accent. if
the accent is only in the folder name it works! (Vista)
