The conversion to/from wchar_t only comes in play when the avalable space is too small to contain some text string, typically when the full window title would be wider than the window. In the left (sub)menu case "User Application List" would be narrowed down to something like "Use...List". If the wchar_t conversion fails e16 will fall back to trying to render the full string which will be clipped depending on text alignment, e.g. "User Appli".
AFAIK there is no requirement that iconv supports conversion to WCHAR_T but I think it's somewhat odd that Solaris iconv doesn't as I believe Solaris does have mbstowcs() and friends, which do this conversion. A simple fix that might work on Solaris (anywhere sizeof(wchar_t) is 4) is to use "UCS4" in stead of "WCHAR_T". Could you please check if your iconv supports that (iconv -l) and if so try and make this substitution in lang.c and see if things work? If not, what does your "iconv -l" say? /Kim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
