As I don't work on Ubuntu I have very little idea what you're talking about, sorry :-( However, as Sven pointed out, DirectFB is expecting strings in UTF-8 and there is no way to change this behavior. You may use iconv (also as Sven suggested). For embedded devices I found it was easier to just hard-translate the strings (I tried iconv but couldn't make it work, don't really recall why). Despite the chosen method, translation is perfectly possible in every possible scenario and I think you won't have any problems. Good luck, Ezequiel. _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
