Hello, it's not that strange, actually: print is GLib's g_print, which expects a UTF-8 encoded string and tries to convert it into the correct output encoding for the current locale. stdout.printf on the other hand is the C library's fprintf, which simply writes the bytes it gets to the target stream. Therefore, if your locale setting doesn't match your terminal's output encoding or if your program didn't call setlocale correctly, print is very unlikely to work. cu, Thomas -- When C++ is your hammer, every problem looks like your thumb. _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
