I have problem with Text Coding . I need to change labels - using label_set_text. Problem is, that I need to use Czech language - when I use some special symbol from this language I get warning "Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()". What can I do about it?

Thanks

You have to convert passed text to UTF-8 of course. See FAQ or do something like this (in case of Windoze):

Code: (C)
1 2 3 4 5	#define UTF8_TEXT(X) g__convert(X, -1, "UTF-8", "windows-1251") gchar *t = UTF8_TEXT("some czech text"); gtk_label_set_text(label, t); g_free(t);
