Hi,
I just tried this on a Mac OS X with success:
TTFileDescription installFamilyNamed: 'Arial'. (StringHolder new contents: 'a' , (String with: 603 asCharacter with: 16r411 asCharacter)) openLabel: 'Some unicode'.
Then used CMD+SHIFT+K and selected Arial.

Hello
I really like the new look with the updated GUI elements and with a regular menu bar in Squeak 4.1alpha #9832
So I did a retest how Unicode characters are displayed.
Display Unicode symbols broken
I wanted to choose a font from the platform
Cmd-K (Alt-K) and go to the (equally new) "More (non-portable) Fonts..." entry
The choice for "More (non-portable) Fonts..." is not available.
Then I did TTFileDescription installFamilyNamed: 'Arial'. as mentioned in the readme file.
The evaluation of 603 asCharacter
displays a box instead of a Latin Small Letter Open E
After switching to Russian with Locale switchToID: (LocaleID isoLanguage: 'ru').
16r411 asCharacter
is displayed as a box as well. It should be the Cyrillic capital letter Be
Regards
