the attached patch fixes more string encodings in places currently using rb\_str\_new\* or StringValuePtr. i have reviewed glib2, pango, gdkpixbuf and gtk2. i know too little other modules to review them for the same thing, sorry. please review? ---

I wanted to ask others to test their app with rg2-svn and ruby 1.9, so that we know if there are more things to do before officially pretending rg2 is ruby 1.9 compatible. So please test with rg2-svn and report back! Thanks, – Guillaume C. - [NVC Communication Obstacles Game](http://zarb.org/~gc/) ---

I will definitely do so. I actually have some 1.9 encoding issues of my own to tackle, though. It might take me a while 🙂 I’ll try to get back to you tomorrow. ``` MikeC ``` ---

It might take me a while 🙂 do you have C code? otherwise, pure ruby code should be easily “ported” to 1.9 with encodings? do you want to share what’s the problems? – Guillaume C. - [NVC Communication Obstacles Game](http://zarb.org/~gc/) ---

No it’s ruby code, but I read in files of many different encodings and specifically detect and modify the encodings of the strings. All that stuff has changed. It’s not difficult, but I just have to find time to do it 🙂 My programming time is limited to only a few hours a week unfortunately… ``` MikeC ``` ---
