[Pharo-project] Unicode/Latin1 handling in Pharo 1.3

[Holger Hans Peter Freyther]

Hi,

I am trying to read a file from disk that is in latin1 encoding and then try
to compare the string with a string provided as literal and it fails. My test
case can be seen below. I am using Pharo 1.3 on a Linux machine with a UTF-8
locale. Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?


| stream text |
stream := (FileStream fileNamed: 'pharo_example_latin1.txt')
                        converter: ISO885915TextConverter new;
                        yourself.
text := stream contents.
text = 'Teilrückzahlung'
                        

Teilrückzahlung
