Pantone Huey and little cms.

Hello,

as the original message seems to have been lost (I'm afraid
I did not
post it correctly), here it is:

I posted about this on the GIMP bugzilla, and a developer
said it could
interest the people around little cms. Basically, I created
a screen
profile with the Pantone Huey (non pro version) on mac os x.
When I try
to load it under Ubuntu in the Gimp 2.4 /release candidate
2, the name
of the profile is displayed as 'invalid UTF-8 string'. There
is no way
to have the correct name displayed. Actually, I think this
is even
related to a crash I experience in cinepaint: after I try to
assign this
profile to the screen,  cinepaint hangs. Subsequently, I
often get a
crash when  I try to access the preferences, with cinepaint
mumbling
something icc related in the terminal:
cms_read_icc_profile_dir: Cannot stat icc profile
directory
/usr/local/share/color/icccms_read_icc_profile_dir: Cannot
stat icc profile directory
/home/ludovico/.color/icccinepaint fatal
error: sigsegv caught)
On the other hand, Bibble has no
problems with this profile under Linux.
Is there something wrong with the profiles created with the
huey
software, or is this some kind of issue with lcms?

By the way, the discussion has gotten far too technical for
me, but as I
understand it, there is a chance the problem might sit with
lcms (and
not just GIMP)?

Many thanks, 

Ludovico Fischer

Ludovico,

the problem is two folded. One part is that glibs has
problems with
wchar_t multibyte characters on linux. This affects
littleCMS.
The other thing is, that CinePaint passes a zero length
string, comming 
from lcms, to Gtk. Gtk seems to segfault then and crashes
CinePaint. I 
guess the same happens in other Gtk applications, like Gimp
or Inkscape.

kind regards

You did not show your profile to say something.
