The format used by gtk+-2.0 is more specifically UTF-8. All strings used in widgets in 2.0 are UTF-8. > i'd really like to be able to see a unicode example, gchar in[]="åäö"; gchar *out; out = g_convert(string,-1,"UTF-8","ISO8859-1",NULL,NULL,NULL); will convert these three Swedish characters from ISO8859-1 to UTF-8. You may then assign your UTF-8 string "out" to any applicable field. Note: replace ISO8859-1 with the Greek (ISO8859-7) or Hebrew (ISO8859-8) standard font.
