But now, I get this: > > (llf_utf:21130): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert: assertion > `g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed So if we leave out all the redundant things (and add at least basic sanity checks), this will remain: GtkTextBuffer *textbuffer; gchar *buf; const gchar *errpos; GError *err = NULL; gsize n; if (g_file_get_contents(filename, &buf, &n, &err)) { if (g_utf8_validate(buf, n, &errpos)) { textbuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(textarea)); gtk_text_buffer_set_text(textbuffer, buf, n); } else g_printerr("Invalid byte at position %d\n", (gint)(errpos - buf)); g_free(buf); } else { g_printerr("Cannot read %s: %s\n", filename, err->message); g_clear_error(&err); } This works, and if it doesn't it will tell you what's wrong.
