There is a bug in GTK if it sends ? for unsupported characters, that should be fixed IMHO. > But it is unfair to say that not being based on Unicode is a > "problem".

GTK considers this an error by the user for not having file and directory names in Unicode. I think this situation is similar. Jan D.
