Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-02-12 23:25:30 UTC 
This bug was reported to the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410728

"I'd like to be able to use zenity in a set of scripts that output
unicode characters like £. zenity works fine with these scripts when
reading the --text-info content from a file but fails to display UTF-8
characters properly when the same content is passed to zenity via stdin.

$ echo "Character test for zenity: £" > test
$ cat test
Character test for zenity: £
$ zenity --text-info --filename test
  (zenity window displays:)
Character test for zenity: £
$ cat test | zenity --text-info
  (zenity window displays:)
Character test for zenity: £

It is midly annoying to have to create a temporary file (and remove it
later) when the rest of the script(s) can work using pipes."

        * src/text.c: correctly handle UTF-8 input text in the text info
        dialog (Fixes bug #407275).
