Pidgin: A couple of issues

[DDEO NA]

Hi,

I'm running WinXP SP3 on my laptop with pidgin version 2.7.8.
 Unfortunately, I am having a couple of problems that are not overly 
major, though somewhat of an annoyance.

I found one of my issues 
listed in ticket #604; the displaying of CJK characters in my buddylist 
are square blocks. I have tried to locate "pango.aliases" on my 
computer, but such a file does not exist, which may be my issue. I have 
searched the mentioned "common files/GTK/2.0/ etc." directory path. 
However, there is nothing beyond the GTK folder. This is something 
peculiar as another computer, also WinXP SP3 and pidgin 2.7.8, has said 
directories and no CJK display issue on the buddylist. I'm a bit baffled
 as to the situation and humbly ask what a possible fix would be for 
this issue. I tried downloading the latest GTK from sourceforge and 
unzipped all files manually into a "2.0" folder I created under the GTK 
folder, then placed the "pango.aliases" in its respective place. This 
was to no avail.

My other issue is with the MSN messenger. When I
 am sent an invite to a chatroom, I cannot see an invite to accept. I've
 searched for this issue, but have yielded no results. I've had this 
problem for awhile, but it has only recently become bothersome as I have
 started to have a need for group chats. I can create a chatroom and 
invite people, however.

If there is information as to solving 
these issues that I have not managed to find, please direct me towards 
it, or explain to me if no such information has been posted. Sorry for 
any possible inconveniences on your end.
