GDK 1.2 always operates in the encoding of the current locale. GDK 2.0
(unstable version) always operates in UTF-8.
 
To support other character sets, you have to load a font in the
encoding for that character set. There is not a convenient way to do
this, unfortunately. GTK 2 solves the problem.

You are probably reading the documentation for GLib unstable version
(1.3/2.0) and actually compiling your program using the stable version
(1.2). 1.2 does not have g_convert().
