Re: Local on GTK windows

[Deekshit Mantampady <dmantamp gmail com>]

Hi,
  Thanks for the reply. I set Malayalam as my language in windows
regional settings. Now, I see Window Date settings window shows some
malayalam words. But when I run my GTK application. I get error like
(I don't remember the exact one)
 "Charset is not supported"
 Falling back to "C" charset,

Any help....?
