Description Eric Leclercq 2002-07-01 21:06:56 UTC 
Package: gtk+
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0
Synopsis: File selection dialog fails to show files with non 7bits chars
Bugzilla-Product: gtk+
Bugzilla-Component: GtkFileSel

Description:
With any GTK+ 2 application, the file selection dialog will not show
files with non 7bits chars
and complain with the following error message:
  Gtk-Message: [Invalid UTF-8] The filename "pré-rapport" couldn't be
converted
  to UTF-8 (try setting the environment variable G_BROKEN_FILENAMES):
Invalid
  byte sequence in conversion input

It does however work when setting G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.

I'm using libgtk2.0-0 (deb: 2.0.5-1), with fr_FR@euro as locale (fr_FR
does the same).

See the GTK+ README for a detailed explanation of why
you should set G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.
