Description Michael Schumacher 2009-11-11 06:38:37 UTC

This bug has been filed against GIMP, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544560

While we are able to work around the problem in GIMP code, it would still nice to see this fixed in poppler. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544560#c7 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=544560#c8 for hints about the reason and fix for this problem.

Would this patch fix the problem? I can't test it and I have no idea about win32, so it's like a shoot in the dark.

Hi Carlos,

Your patch did not work, because apparently you cannot use g_utf8_to_utf16() to convert to wchar_t when you are compiling with g++ (it only works with gcc).

I wrote this new patch based on yours, and it works for me with Evince.

Pushed to poppler-0.12 and master. Thanks!
