[pygtk] UTF-8 font not getting displayed in pygtk

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi,

please keep it on-list. gtk is a huge project and I only know some parts
of it very well. Others know other parts well. So it's best to
collaborate.

Okay. When you use buffer.set_text("some-marathi-text-string-here"),
does it happen too?

Well, first, we have to find out exactly when it happens by experiment
that is influenced by as few other parts as possible. Hence, please try
if it happens when you call buffer.set_text("some-marathi-text-here") as
well, thereby eliminating the possibility of the SAX XML parser
malfunctioning.
