Bug Description
When using gnome-activity journal trunk build, Bangla complex characters do not appear properly. They appear broken.
In some asian languages, combination of two or more characters is represented as a new glyph. In gnome-activity journal, they are not showing up correctly, and individual characters are shown. In default gnome, these characters work without problem.
See the attached screenshot. While the representation of weekday names in gnome shell calender is alright, gnome-activity shows them incorrectly. One instance is marked in red.

The text is set from the string provided by python's datetime strftime. It should be localized but perhaps they suspect the something like pango to handle it for them. I will take a look and see how shell does it.
