Re: Invalid UTF-8... the comeback :-)

[Noah Levitt <nlevitt columbia edu>]

This program works for me:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

gint
main (gint argc, gchar **argv)
{
  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkWidget *label;

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

  window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 48);
  g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (window), "destroy",
                    G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);

  gtk_widget_show (window);

  label = gtk_label_new ("ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ");
  gtk_widget_show (label);

  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label);

  gtk_main ();

  return 0;
}

Of course, it has to be encoded in UTF-8. If your strings
are in some other encoding, you can convert them using
g_iconv or related functions. Havoc's thing is a bit of a
hack that only works for iso8859-1, if I understand it
correctly.
