Hi,

When I input the first character into gedit, either an alphabet or a Japanese 
character, gedit produces the following warning:

(gedit:xxxxx): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to 
pango_layout_set_text()

But it does not output any warning for inputting the subsequent characters.

And when the print preview is activated, gedit outputs:

(gedit:xxxxx): GnomePrintCupsPlugin-WARNING **: iconv does not support ppd 
character encoding: ISOLatin1, trying CSISOLatin1

The other gnome apps work fine, as for print preview.

I have installed many fonts, and I'm just using Sans/Monospace for print preview.

Thanks,
