[Pharo-project] Unicode Fonts

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

I was playing with the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode

'/tmp/chess.txt' asFileReference writeStreamDo: [ :stream |
        (16r2654 to: 16r265F) 
                do: [ :each |
                        stream nextPut: each asCharacter ]
                separatedBy: [ stream space ].
        stream crlf ].

$ cat /tmp/chess.txt 
♔ ♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙ ♚ ♛ ♜ ♝ ♞ ♟

(this shows for me, in my terminal/mail, YMMV ;-)

String streamContents: [ :stream |
        (16r2654 to: 16r265F) 
                do: [ :each |
                        stream nextPut: each asCharacter ]
                separatedBy: [ stream space ].
        stream crlf ].

Is there a way to make this work, a font selection that show these Unicode 
characters in Pharo ? That would be cool.

I tried using Freetype font Monaco, the same as my terminal where the right 
characters show, but that didn't help.
