Re: Writing a buffer with UTF-8 content.

[Yaa101 <yaa101 xs4all nl>]

I was wrong, any filesave method just saves into whatever encoding,
opening the resultant file in gedit gives an ecoding error and none
whatsoever encoding import helps.

When I edit the original with gedit I can open it (it is UTF-8)
and saving it will preserve all the locale strings in any language.



What I do is loading a file and put it in the keyfile object with:

keyFile.load_from_file(this._path, (GLib.KeyFileFlags.KEEP_COMMENTS
| GLib.KeyFileFlags.KEEP_TRANSLATIONS));

I can manipulate the resulting buffer with all the keyfile methods.
When I log the buffer to stdout, everything is preserved, but when I
write that same buffer to file it gets all garbled.


I really don't understand.
I also don't understand why there is no keyFile.to_file(); method.
