Thanks, Robin, that works well!
Additionally, I found that in wx.py, the GTK version attempts to
import the locale from the OS, but the Windows version doesn't.
That's why similar code worked on Linux, but not Windows.
After adding "locale.setlocale( locale.LC_ALL, '' )", the Windows
locale is imported into the Python program, and the gb-encoded
text is displayed correctly in the STC. (Specifying various
locales/charsets didn't work, as in
"locale.setlocale( locale.LC_ALL, 'zh_CN.gbk' )", perhaps
because MS uses their own names--locale.getlocale() returns
["Chinese_People's Republic of China", "936"]) The interesting
thing is, with the locale set, I can pass either unicode-encoded
or gb-encoded Chinese to the STC, and it displays either
correctly. The unicode-encoded version will of course be much
better for mixing Chinese and English in different fonts, so
that's what I'll use.
