What I couldn't get working is the listing of file names in the file browser. To reproduce, create file names using Greek, Cyrillic, and Chinese letters, and then do "open/file list". With the wrong font, I get question marks. When I select a font that ought to be able to represent it correctly, I still get a mix of Latin letters and square boxes.
Hm ... there isn't any easy way to test this I guess? The code hasn't changed that much so I would expect this to be working (in particular considering that it seems to work fine for ascii file names).
What I don't understand is: Why do I have to set the language environment (*) to make it work? It's Unicode, so Squeak shouldn't care what the language is. If it needs to know, it should get the language from the system.
I don't know. In particular considering that we have now the locale plugin which can detect these settings easily.
