Apps :: nvu problem

Have installed gtk2-0705.dsl and nvu-gtk2-0.50.dsl but I'm getting errors. Sorry to have to dump this but..

(nvu-bin:965): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' is not supported

(nvu-bin:965): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules

there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

/opt/nvu-0.50/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 965 Aborted "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Any ideas ?

I have exactly the same problem (but it gives the error messages repeatedly).

I have it not only with nvu but also with Firefox 1.06.

That makes me think the problem is not with nvu but with something that nvu and Firefox depend on.
