Other interesting facts to know...

Linux / *nix / Windows?

If Linux / *nix, what is the encoding your file-system is using? Most
modern systems are UTF-8, but if it is an old file-system, it might be
something else. That can cause issues.

GLib deals in system-encoded names, so if you filesystem is ISO 8859-1, it
can cause problems if gerbv is assuming filenames can be printed as UTF-8.

All GTK things need UTF-8, and you need to use the appropriate filename
conversion routines in GLib. Similarly - althoguh one I'm not so sure how
to fix, is that you should printf translated (or all) strings in the
correct encoding that the terminal is using. Since gerbv is a GUI app, it
will be using UTF-8 internally, but that might not be correct for printf to
a console.

Fortunately though (or is it?), most consoles / filesystems are UTF-8
encoding now-adays, so these bugs are likely to linger without causing any
harm. (Same in geda/gschem, libgeda etc...)

Hello,
   Thanks for the bug report.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to replicate
the crash when I make a test file with "é" in the name.  Could you
possibly attach the particular file to this bug report so I can see what is
causing it?  It may be due to something inside the file.
   If the file contains sensitive material, you can also email it to me
directly at [email protected], if you don't want to make it public.

Thanks,
Julian
