Description Denis Jacquerye 2007-03-27 08:36:08 UTC 
Strings should be normalized with g_utf8_normalize() and G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT before strcmp(), or g_utf8_collate() could be used instead of strcmp().

For example searching for "dégradés" in the French Gimp manual finds matches. But if composed equivalent sequences are used, like "dégradés", no match is found. Yet these are the same for the User and are canonically equivalent for Unicode.
