Not to my knowledge :) The strong argument for using latin1 as internal charset for ByteString vs 1252 is the 1-1 mapping to unicode values. > > Now, I'm not so sure anymore why I thought squeak was CP1252. Is it ? Seems ambiguous. > My guess was probably based on macToSqueak and squeakToMac implementation. Yes, that does indeed do MacRoman -> 1252 transformation. As does MacRomanTextConverter, in Pharo as well... Converters assuming different internal encodings, fonts which render a charset different from both of them...

Wee. Render with a Unicode font, and you get nothing but []'s, which would be the correct latin1-rendering of said string. Which is why I said an encoding property for the StrikeFonts was needed, so you can do the proper conversion of internal string charcodes to the charcode values the font expects. (Or rather, bitmap offsets) This of course means you'd have to come up with a consistent definition of what the internal ByteString encoding in Squeak is first, though. > Maybe with a bit more clean-up (Character euro is answering the > MacRoman code for example, The keyboardinput handling in Squeak does strange things, at least on a Mac... Alt - § (which gives a euro symbol on my keyboard layout) is read as a WideChar with the correct unicode value on Pharo, but as Char 164 in Squeak. Alt- 5 (∞) does a similar thing, reads as correct widechar on Pharo, but on Squeak turns into char 129. > and taking macRoman conversions from > Sophie/Pharo), we could declare Squeak is using unicode... > Great ! > > Nicolas That would be my dream as well. Or really, I'd settle for any unambiguous definition of what the ByteString encoding is. "A little more clean-up" may or may not be an understatement though, it would involve going through all the converters, all keyboard-input processing code (seems to be more stable in Pharo on mac), and all places where strings enters/leaves the system. :) Cheers, Henry _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
