Comment 1 Sven Arvidsson 2007-08-30 16:52:29 UTC

Configuring dictd to use UTF-8 (with --locale=xx_YY.utf-8) doesn't seem to do any difference.

The following warnings are printed on the terminal;

(gnome-dictionary:11644): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strrstr_len: assertion `haystack != NULL' failed

(gnome-dictionary:11644): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_append: assertion `val != NULL' failed
