I think this stuff of encoding is important. Maybe we should ask an entry in F.A.Q saying something like this:

"
When I type certain characters a '?' is displayed instead of the real problem.

The standard font in Pharo covers the latin-15 character set. Which means it should be able to display ���, with a Unicode conversion
table. However, all input outside ascii range is in Unicode, so to display those you need to
- Import a Font which includes them. (Like the DejaVu FT-font included
previously)
- Change the fonts used to the one you know support those characters
from the world right click menu, in System -> Preferences -> System fonts.
"

What do you think?

Cheers,

Mariano
