Hi, I previously worked with GTK only on Windows and the Windows builds of GTK always used UTF-8 for everything. Now I played a bit with GTK on Linux and noticed that it doesn't seem to handle UTF-8 correctly by default. Instead, ISO 8859-1 is used (which should be my locale's default charset). When I pass UTF-8 text to functions like gtk_dialog_add_button(), then the specified strings seem to be treated as ISO-8859-1, i.e. non ASCII characters appear as multiple characters instead of being resolved to the single character they represent according to UTF-8 decoding tables. Could someone tell me how I can convince GTK to use UTF-8 as the default on Linux, too? Thanks alot, Andreas _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
