Bug Description
There are cases where non UTF-8 strings are being passed to GTK widgets within gschem. This makes them unhappy, as they are UTF-8 only. Such characters may come from filenames in a system encoding which is not UTF-8.
Additionally, _() translated messages are being printed to stderr / stdout, wihthout any regard for converting to the system encoding.
This results in garbled console output where the console / system locale isn't UTF-8.
Bumping priority of this bug, because it's a genuine issue that needs addressing with increased internationalis ation in the suite.
