From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217 Description of problem: "£" and "³" characters are not shown correctly in gtk+-based apps (XMMS, mplayer, etc.). They are rendered as brackets: "£" as "()" and "³" as "))" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk+-1.2.10-39 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 xmms 2. Go to the menu Additional info: This bug is also visible in FC3. IIRC, in FC2 everything was OK.
Created attachment 115501 [details] Screenshot of the XMMS I had to attach screenshot, because mentioned characters are wrongly rendered in the webbrowser ;-)
The right fix is to port whatever application is still using gtk 1.2 to gtk 2.x, which offers MUCH better internationalization
No way ;-) I've found the patch, so you can now easyly fix it â https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4366
We definitely will not apply that patch, as it is incorrect, however once someone has implemented the solution suggested by Owen Taylor in the bug report referenced in comment #3, and it gets checked into Xorg CVS and does not cause any regressions, we will review it for consideration in a future update.
