Re: Problem with GTK+2 for Windows

["Richard Warren" <rew primagraphics co uk>]

Wolfgang,

I think this can happen if you don't have the correct files sitting relative
to each other in your windows gtk installation directory.  You need the
various libraries in a "lib" directory with additional gtk and pango files
in a parallel "etc" directory.  This should happen automatically if you
install the zipfiles that Tor supplies his pre-built win32 gtk in (follow
the links on the www.gtk.org site - they also lead to a win32 mailing list
for gtk which you might find useful as well).

I think the particular file you need is etc\pango\pango.modules.  If you
don't have it I believe you get very small black dots/squares wherever you
expect text.

Hope that helps,
Richard.
