Package: zenity Version: 2.14.3-1 Severity: minor I'd like to be able to use zenity in a set of scripts that output unicode characters like £. zenity works fine with these scripts when reading the --text-info content from a file but fails to display UTF-8 characters properly when the same content is passed to zenity via stdin.
$ echo "Character test for zenity: £" > test $ cat test Character test for zenity: £ $ zenity --text-info --filename test (zenity window displays:) Character test for zenity: £ $ cat test | zenity --text-info (zenity window displays:) Character test for zenity: £ It is midly annoying to have to create a temporary file (and remove it later) when the rest of the script(s) can work using pipes. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages zenity depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-5 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-5 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-12 A free electronic cataloging syste zenity recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
