Hi,
Whilst trying to display international currency units I found the following unexpectedness. In the following
code I would expect a label to appear with "£10.00 $10.00 €10.00 ¥10.00". Instead of the currency unit I get
strange characters, as shown in the attached png.
This seems to be happening for any non-US ASCII characters. My default locale is en_GB.UTF-8, but I have also
tried running it as en_GB. I have tried it on both Labels and Treeview items and the problem occurs on both.
Example code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);
use Gtk2 '-init';
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new ('toplevel');
my $label = Gtk2::Label->new('£10.00 $10.00 €10.00 ¥10.00');
$window->add ($label);
$window->signal_connect (delete_event => sub {Gtk2->main_quit} );
$window->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
Any help in getting these characters to display correctly would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
