Hebrew, UTF-8, etc.

[Nahum Wengrov]

I'm using Win XP, Lilypond 2.6.5.

I edited my .ly file, containing Hebrew in header text and in lyrics, in
Notepad and saved is as "UTF-8," but Lilypond seems not to recognise it. 

Is there a known bug in Notepad concerning UTF-8, or is it UTF-8 encoding
incompatible with Lilypond? 

Should I try a different editor? 
Or do I need to install any special fonts to some obscure Lilypond folder,
Or what?

If so, where do I find such fonts, and how do I install them?
