UTF-8 encode copyright symbol for Text Circle script success

Hi,

The script, "Text Circle" (Xtns -> Script-Fu -> Logos -> Text Circle) just stops.

I know the problem is the copyright symbol that I put into the text box labeled Text. I know it is executing gimp-text-fontname when it is failing. So how does one encode a special character, like the copyright, for this script, written in Scheme, that requires UTF-8 encoding?

Thank you.

There is no way of doing this in GIMP 2.2. In recent development releases, we have switched the Scheme interpreter to TinyScheme and Script-Fu now supports UTF-8 encoded text. So what you are trying to do will work in GIMP 2.4.

The Script-Fu plug-in which comes with the 2.2 versions of GIMP can't handle UTF-8 coded characters. If you need to do something with UTF-8 coded characters you will need to use a current development version of GIMP or use the Tiny-Fu plug-in.

I compiled on Ubuntu. It was successful, except for python. But I was able to try the "Text Circle" script with the character code I wanted and indeed it works.

Thank you.
