[cl-gd-devel] draw-freetype-string cannot work with utf-8 encoded string

[arry]

Hello,

I confirm this too. This is a bug from quite some time now.

What i did was to change to the older version - there it works!

I'm under UTF-8 environment and found that UTF-8 encoded string cannot
be displayed with function draw-freetype-string.I wrote a script like
this

===>

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl-gd)

(setq oldimage (cl-gd:create-image 300 150))
(cl-gd:allocate-color 0 0 255 :image oldimage)
(cl-gd:draw-freetype-string 100 100 "ºº×Ö" :font-name
"/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/gbsn00lp.ttf" :color
(cl-gd:find-color 255 255 255 :resolve 't :image oldimage) :image
oldimage :angle 0 :anti-aliased 't)
(cl-gd:write-image-to-file "~/newimage.png" :type :PNG :image oldimage
:if-exists :supersede)

<===

But it displays the UTF-8 string "ºº×Ö" like this:

&27721;&23383

How can I make my script displays the string correctly?

Thanks.
