pango_layout_set_text

[Neil Williams]

I'm getting thousands of these warnings when testing in g2.
(gnucash:3813): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to 
pango_layout_set_text()

Every time a string is displayed in the GUI, including the status bar and all 
cells. I'm also getting problems editing cell contents because the text is 
not being highlighted and the cursor bar doesn't appear.

gnucash-grid.c (line 0469) and gnucash-sheet.c (line 1969) contain one 
reference each.

To me, it seems that we are passing a const char * to pango_layout_set_text() 
when it is expecting a UTF-8 wchar_t wide char string.

Is this a character set issue (i.e. am I the only one seeing this) or should 
these functions be converting const char to const wchar_t* using the C 
library before calling pango?
