the docs clearly state:

"The default encoding for GIOChannel is UTF-8."

If you read binary data, you should set the encoding to NULL. For text
files with other encodings, you need to know their encoding since if
you want to display the text in GTK+, you need to convert it to UTF-8.
GLib has all the functions you need to do that and they are all well
documented.


Salut, Sven
