Encoding problem in Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer

[Ben Staude <sben1783 yahoo de>]

Hi all,

using the PodViewer widget to display help, I have an encoding problem: I 
cannot get the widget to correctly display utf8 text.

I load the pod from a file which is in utf-8, but it is displayed as 
iso-8859-1. I also loaded the file into perl first and used 
$podviewer->load_string($string) but it didn't help.

If I display the string (loaded from the pod file) in a regular TextBuffer / 
TextView, it's correctly displayed; also if I use it as label text or 
similar.

### Sample script

use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer;

my $viewer = Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer->new;

# find mypod.pod attached, hope it's still utf8 after mailing it
$viewer->load('mypod.pod');

$viewer->show;
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;
$window->add($viewer);
$window->show;
Gtk2->main;

### 

Any ideas?

Thanks 
Ben

The world is a better place since there's utf8. We no longer have problems with the euro sign (€) or german umlauts like ae (ä), ue (ü) and so on.
