Description Tim Starling 2008-10-20 06:45:28 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
You have to run setlocale(LC_ALL,"") before you can call g_option_context_parse(). Otherwise UTF-8 characters on the command line are rejected with an error "Invalid byte sequence in conversion input".

Reported to Wikimedia at <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16014>
Manual reference: <http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.18/glib-Commandline-option-parser.html>

The fix is trivial, you'd probably do better to write it yourself, but here's our patch if you're interested:
<http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/debs/librsvg2/debian/patches/cmdline-bugfixes.patch?revision=42255&view=markup>




Steps to reproduce:
rsvg-convert -o И.png < test.svg

Actual results:
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

Expected results:
No error. Or at least the error message could have an LF at the end of it.

Does this happen every time?
Indeed it does.
