It does not say "Illegal sequence in string." but "Illegal escape sequence
in string.".  And this should tell you want is wrong by checking the manual:
The backslash is a reserved character and you have to type "\\".  Of course,
the proper solution would be to add "c:\winnt\fonts\" to your include
paths...

Yes, apparently when printing the error message something in POV-Ray is
trying to interpret your illegal escape sequence and gets confused.
