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.

Regards,
