Re: view cant' show special characters (at least not with gtk_text_buffer_set_text() so far)

[Dov Grobgeld <dov imagic weizmann ac il>]

You have to UTF8 encode the characters. E.g. to input the characters
you mention below you have to insert the following char* buf:

    "\327\224 \327\226 \327\252 \327\224 \327\232 \327\233\n"

This buffer was created by doing:

 echo ä  æ ú ä ê ë | iconv -f iso8859-8 -t utf8 | od -c
 
and reformatting the output a bit.
