[Xfce-bugs] [Bug 15349] Text in help-window garbled

--- Comment #3 from Mikhail T. <mi+xfce-2014 at aldan.algebra.com> ---
> the text is also garbled for screenshooter's dialogs?

No, the buttons and other GUI-elements are all fine...

> Out of curiosity, why use an encoding other than UTF-8?

I, and all of my local users, only know three languages -- Ukrainian, Russian,
and English. Character-sets of all three can be expressed in KOI8-U -- a
single-byte encoding. Why do we need to use a multi-byte encoding?

> Using the solution from Bug #15350 makes any difference?

Of course, not -- that's only applicable to names of the files on the
filesystem...

This might be the same problem as in Bug #11317, however -- where the
already-UTF8 text was, erroneously, passed through "g_locale_to_utf8" again.
That was fixed in:

(P.S. I can not change the status from "NEEDINFO" to anything other than a
"RESOLVED something". This is, probably, a bug in your Bugzilla workflow.)
