When my app displays numerical output, I've been using a "real" minus sign (U+2212) if the current font supports this (as checked by pango), since it looks better than the usual hyphen-as-minus.
The minus sign displays correctly within GTK, but I've noticed that if the app is running on, e.g. an ISO-8859-1 platform, so that output has to be recoded for saving to disk or copying to the clipboard, g_locale_from_utf8 chokes on the minus sign, giving "Invalid byte sequence in conversion input" I'm not sure if this is exactly a bug, but shouldn't U+2212 get successfully mapped onto character 45 (0x002D) in ISO-8859-1? -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
