[Pharo-project] Fwd: DrGeo in Greek
I try to copy and paste in a Worksapce some greek word taken from web content , it only produces garbadge, although pasting in a Terminal is fine. When searching for alternate font in the system I can get some meaningful characters. However, depending on the locale of the system, it means switching to alternate font in Pharo. I don't think we have some sort of mechanism to switch to other fonts depending on the locale, do we? Without to mention we will have it to be plateform neutral.

If no, I'm interested to do it. Please inform me. Merry Christmas Yannis

It is utf-8

When searching for alternate font in the system I can get some meaningful characters. Which means the copy is fine at least, there's just not fonts to display them correctly :)

Hilaire I'd think finding a system font (with a reasonable glyph coverage, and acceptable aesthetics) for each platform would be a decent comprimise. Then you'd only need a startup class to check which platform you're on when starting, and switch accordingly.
The alternative is to include TT fonts with the distribution, which will work cross-platform for the glyphs it covers, but bloat the size immensely for any font with decent coverage. I believe it was done for the 1.0/1.1 full images, so check one of those for details. Cheers, Henry
