Hi to all,   i'm still trying to put the some text with 'gtk_text_buffer_set_text' to a 'gtk_text_view', but i can't succeed so far (due to ä and similar characters).   my last try was something like this: for (int z=0 ; z<lenghtofstring ;z++){   if ( (char)pstring[z] > (char) '~' ) pstring[z] = '~'; }   I just tried to replace everything which is higher than the ~ to become a ~. I thought it would just replace stuff like this äÑô with ~. Anyway it does not work and it would not be the best way anyway i guess.   As far as i figured out I should use : g_convert or g_locale_to_utf8   ( gchar *) baus = g_convert(buffl, lengh_to_translate,"ascii","utf-8", u, l, erro); or (gchar *) haus =g_locale_to_utf8((gchar*) buffl, lengh_to_translate, u, l, erro);   So both did not work unfortunately. So in the first case, i guess 'ascii' is wrong anyway. The text i want to show was produced on MS windows with simple texteditor like notepad, and was written afterwards with a ostrstream to a buffer. The only problem is when there are stuff like ç in the text. I guess it's ASCII text. US-ASCII..hmm   Sorry it's the first time i'm in conctact with stuff like this, it seems i can't help myself so far nor have i found something for newbies in the archives. I would be glad when anybody could say me where to find a piece of code from which i could learn, or where to educate myself or give me some hints.   thanks a lot calmar
