Comment #5 on issue 1633 by address@hidden: pdf utf-16be breaks doc compile
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1633

I have finally been able to reproduce the problem and track down its cause: "make doc" seems to clear the LANG env variable, which causes glib to think it is in some strange (ANSI_X3.4-1968) locale. In this locale, all accented characters in the input string are illegal, so any conversion to utf-16be will fail! However, the input string is actually in UTF-8 (lilypond files are by definition in UTF-8). The solution is to hardcode the UTF-8 locale rather than using the system's locale setting.

Patch is up for review at:
