Hi,
I updated to gnome 2.3.1 yesterday, everything looks fine except the font.
I set my LANG to zh_TW.Big which allows me to see Chinese characters.
After upgrading to 2.3.1, there're some problems.
I can still see Chinese characters most of the time, but when I wanna
set the fonts, I got the following errors.
(gnome-font-properties:44246): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to 'Big5': Incorrect byte sequence during converting input data (This message is manually translated from Chinese)
** (gnome-font-properties:44246): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text():
** (gnome-font-properties:44246): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
I thought that might be the reason why I can't see Chinese on most gnome
apps, but it's fine with other apps such as galen2.
It worked fine with gnome 2.2 using the same setting, and I also run
fc-cache but it doesn't help.
I don't know if I describe it well so I'll attach a screenshot.
See the difference of the place containing Chinese characters between
these two apps and another unrecognized error message.
And also I can't compile gnomeapplet2 because it complained the absence of
libatk-1.0.so.200 during installation, but the library installed by atk-1.3.2
is libatk-1.0.so.300.
Sorry for the bothering.
