And if it isn't in UTF-8, why you call it `UTF-8 file'? This does not make sense. > gtk_text_buffer_set_text(GTK_TEXT_BUFFER(textBuffer), > actualText, n); n is not the length of the converted text in bytes (unless it's pure ASCII), it's the length of the text *before* conversion. So in addition to being possibly misconverted the text is truncated too.
