Hi, I seem to have uncovered a problem with Pango's handling of 16-bit UTF-8 characters in certain circumstances. I have a program that displays the content of a text file in a GtkLabel, and although the content of the text file is mostly ASCII there is one extended-ASCII character that appears a few times in there - the double-left facing chevron character (ASCII 171 or 0xab). So I pass the text through g_convert to convert to UTF-8 before using gtk_label_set_text to add it to the label. Generally that works properly and the double-chevron character displays fine, except when that character is the last on the line of text, immediately followed by '\n'; then Pango displays double-chevron character with another graphical character after it - a square box with a diagonal cross. I debug printed the output of g_convert and it looks to be OK - for example converting character sequence "34 ab 20" returns "34 c2 ab 20" and displays properly, converting "34 ab 0a" returns "34 c2 ab 0a" and does not. An easy work around is to insert a space after any graphical character on the end of a line.
