I think that fixing encodings is also part of mike push. I just saw
these changesets
and may be we should open tickets to see if we want to have a look.
But encodings is a hell.

Hi Norbert,
i'm aware of the UTF infrastructure inside Squeak.
I think i see recently some messages on squeak-dev about various
problems with keyboard inputs.
I have to dig in the squeak-dev mailing list in order to find the
messages ...

UTF input (in VM and image) support in Pharo (or Squeak) is a must !
What do you mean? There is support for UTF-8 and UTF-16 in the image.
The image itself changed the internal character format to a modified
Unicode (4 Bytes) Character. I assume that you don't need any
conversion
for UTF-32.
The problem is not the support but to know what encoding the unicode
has. If you have a Byte-Order-Mark this can be easy. Otherwise
there is
no way around than to transmit a character encoding along with the
data
or to use a convention for it. The etoys stuff seems like it can
changes
the input to something unicode but this is a convention that is
manually
adjusted.
Do I understand something wrong?

Hi all,
In the Linux VM, when I try to input, via paste or the right alt
combination, non-ascii characters, like 'ö' or 'é' for example,
Squeak
merely shows 'o?' or 'e?' I researched into this and
accordingly chose a
font that supports UTF-8 and set the locale and VM command line
options
appropriately:
export LC_CTYPE="en_IE.UTF-8"
locale-gen en_IE.UTF-8
(...which claims that locale is upto date...)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales
(...which outputs en_IE.UTF-8... done among other things....)
squeak -encoding UTF-8 -textenc UTF-8 -pathenc UTF-8
Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic.image
Now when I try to input the aforementioned characters I
encounter a debug
message: "Error subscript is out of bound."
However, I have set Squeak's language to Spanish and then
German, and the
characters display perfectly well in the menus. Although, the
same cannot
be
said for the any files with non-ascii characters in the file
dialogue.
So,
it seems it's an input problem.
Anyone with any ideas? Thanks.
This has only been addressed recently, and may not have found
its way into
a release yet.
You need the very latest Squeak VM (3.10-1 at least). It
supports Unicode
keyboard events (which are passed to the image as UTF32).
To make use of these events your image needs to be using
UTF32InputInterpreter. Evaluate
ActiveHand keyboardInterpreter
to see the currently used one. It can be changed by patching
Latin1Environment class>>inputInterpreterClass.
I don't know if this is in any official release yet, or
scheduled for one.
Some relevant change sets from the Etoys image seem to be
