Thank you for the explanation :-) Now it works.
Another problem it can't really solve: Manipulation of strings.
I need to split all arabic strings up into all its letters. So my problem
wasn't really a GUI thing, than rather a Cocoa thing.
Probably I have to work it out in unicode entities but this is really
annoying.

Hello,
my problem is that I cannot programmaticaly apply international
characters to my nib file.
It is possible to enter arabic letters in an NSTextField by using
IB's Attributes window but I can't [text1
setStringValue:@"someArabic"];
Whenever I try to do so XCode tells me that I need to change the
document layout to UTF-8. Then it does work in XCodes editor but
not in my GUI.
My window produces the usual crap when it's trying to display
UTF-8 in an non UTF-8 environment.
You can use UTF-8 strings in UTF-8 source files only with the C
string syntax (i.e. "my UTF-8 string"), not with the Objective-C
string syntax (i.e. @"my NSString"), as the latter only supports
7-bit, ASCII. You have two options here:
1) Use NSLocalizedString, and put your GUI strings in a .strings file
2) Use [NSString stringWithUTF8String: "My UTF-8 String"]
Option 1 is arguably better as it makes no assumptions about the
encoding of the source code, and it allows you to add other
localizations at a later date.
