This was 2.12.2-1 on Mac OS X 10.4.11.  I get Pango complaints all

Since I edit my .ly files in Emacs and don't have it set to save in  
UTF-8, I assume the default is plain ASCII.  I might have been  
getting these warnings for a while and just hadn't seen them as they  
are below the bottom of the buffer as it is displayed in Emacs.
