I think I found a solution.
But first the problem, which preferably would be fixed in the Pharo VM but
I have no idea how to contribute there or if this is actually correct/wrong:
After a lot of debugging and trying to figure out why paste from Google
Chrome(ium) isn't working in Linux I found out that the default encoding
isn't unicode.
According to this the default should be UTF-8
platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:1493 printf(" --textenc <enc> set
encoding for external text (default: UTF-8)\n");
however by default it is set to 0
platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:127 int textEncodingUTF8= 0; /*
1 if copy from external selection uses UTF8 */
and only set to 1 if it is explicitly provided (--textenc UTF-8)
platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:1452 else if (!strcmp(argv[0],
"--textenc"))
{
char *buf= (char *)malloc(strlen(argv[1]) + 1);
int len, i;
strcpy(buf, argv[1]);
len= strlen(buf);
for (i= 0; i < len; ++i)
buf[i]= toupper(buf[i]);
if ((!strcmp(buf, "UTF8")) || (!strcmp(buf, "UTF-8")))
textEncodingUTF8= 1;
else
setEncoding(&uxTextEncoding, buf);
free(buf);
return 2;
}
--
So the (temporary) fix is quite simple: specify the --textenc encoding when
launching Pharo. :)
