|I recently upgraded to 0.10.3 and now when I capture AIM traffic I 
|receive the following error message in a DOS window.
|Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
|
|My environment: 
|Windows XP Professional
|WinPcap 3.0
|Ethereal 0.10.3

This means that you're using the new GTK2 GUI (otherwise You won't be using
pango for fonts), and that some data of the AIM traffic Ethereal expected to
be US-ASCII, which it obviously wasn't.

Can you share a small capture file which reproduces the problem?

Regards,

Olivier
