I try to copy and paste in a Worksapce some greek word taken from web

When searching for alternate font in the system I can get some
meaningful characters.
Which means the copy is fine at least, there's just not fonts to display
them correctly :)
However, depending on the locale of the system, it means switching to
alternate font in Pharo. I don't think we have some sort of mechanism to
switch to other fonts depending on the locale, do we? Without to mention
we will have it to be plateform neutral.

I'd think finding a system font (with a reasonable glyph coverage, and
acceptable aesthetics) for each platform would be a decent comprimise.
Then you'd only need a startup class to check which platform you're on
when starting, and switch accordingly.
The alternative is to include TT fonts with the distribution, which will
work cross-platform for the glyphs it covers, but bloat the size
immensely for any font with decent coverage.
I believe it was done for the 1.0/1.1 full images, so check one of those
for details.
Cheers,
