My app crashes when trying to render this text with the latest Shoes
and OS X 10.4.11:

"Rails Summit Latin America - Oct 15-16, 2008 - S\343o Paulo, Brasil -
http://tinyurl.com/3rcv62";

I assume it's a problem with the utf sequence, but I paste the whole
text just in case there is some weird thing going on elsewhere.

Crash report and minimal sample app to recreate: http://gist.github.com/11894

The app is a Twitter client, and I have noticed text rendering
problems when viewing the public timeline as well, as well as
sometimes crashing. Rendering problems I've noticed are things like
Japanese characters showing up as a bunch of boxes, squished together.
The same text renders correctly when sent to growl, however.

Is there anything I can do to handle this stuff better, or are there
shortcomings in Shoes or OS X.. or both? I haven't tried using another
font in Shoes. Is that even possible?
