I just stumbled onto this error message in the manual. On page 330 it
says:

<QUOTE>
If a LilyPond input file containing a non-ASCII character is not saved
in UTF-8 format the error message
FT_Get_Glyph_Name () error: invalid argument

will be generated
</QUOTE>

Check the menus in your text editor for an option to save your file in
UTF-8 format. Sometimes it's a drop-down box in the Save dialog.

If your text editor won't do it, google for free text editors. There
are many that will do this.
