Re: utf8 issues in Scintilla(again)

Hi Fernando, Consider this test script: <?php $sc = new GtkScintilla(); $sc->set_size_request(200,200); $sc->set_text("ééé´ Sequência inválida na entrada de conversão"); $w = new GtkWindow(); $w->add($sc); $w->show_all(); $w->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk', 'main_quit')); Gtk::main(); ?> Applying your patch (i.e. without converting to PHP from UTF8) I get the following as output (http://www.kix.in/php-gtk2/invalid.png): ééé´ Sequência inválida na entrada de conversão which is obviously not what we expect to see. While, my method of conversion gives me the correct output (http://www.kix.in/php-gtk2/valid.png): ééé´ Sequência inválida na entrada de conversão I have reason to believe that Scintilla does not expect UTF8 encoded strings, and that arguments passed to set_text() will almost all the time be UTF8. Hence your patch would fail for cases where the parameters to set_text() are indeed UTF8 encoded (like the example above). However, in your case, since you are passing a PHP variable to set_text(), it has already been converted from UTF8 to a native PHP type. What we need is a conditional conversion statement that handles both test cases. Eliminating the conversion statement is not an option. I have some pressing work for the next few days, and will look into a proper solution for this ASAP. Meanwhile, if you can come up with a patch that handles both the test scripts, that would be great. Once again, Thanks for everything! Best Regards, - Anant
