retitle 298548 Display problems in UTF-8 locales
forwarded 298548 http://audacity.sf.net/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214
thanks

This bug appears to affect all UTF-8 locales. I have forwarded the
following information upstream:

  Strings with non-ASCII characters do not display correctly in GTK
  builds when the locale charset is UTF-8. The strings appear to be
  truncated, often starting at the first non-ASCII character.

We'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

This is weird. My locale is nl_NL.UTF-8. When I run audacity and select the about box, I see a bunch of boxes (wrong charset?). When I run LANG=en_EN.UTF-8 audacity I get this output in the terminal:

jeroen@gnubuntu:~$ LANG=en_EN.UTF-8 audacity

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

but the about box is in normal Dutch instead of weird boxes now!

Hi,

I am working on an application that uses wxWidget and I've also encountered
same problem with unicode.

The base of this problem is the wxWidget library that do not handle
unicode properly. The only solution I found is to use it in ascii
only... which is not an acceptable alternative.

Cheers,
