I don't think this is the difference between the two functions. There are no differences between them, they are all char*, if I understand correctly In my opinion, g_filename_to_utf8 would check the environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING, while g_locale_to_utf8 would check LC_*s and LANG If you are getting a filename from filechooser, you must convert it to the local file system encoding with g_filename_from_utf8, and reading a directory with readdir and then display it with gtk, you should convert it to utf8 with g_filename_to_utf8. If you are getting input from user and display it, you should convert it to UTF8 with g_locale_to_utf8() Thanks. > > -- Best regards Shixin Zeng
