so-desu ... Clicked in don't show message again box ... But by then I was looking at (encoding = 'utf-8') ifTrue: [^UTF8TextConverter]. (encoding = 'shiftjis' or: [ encoding = 'sjis' ]) as seen in JapaneseEnvironment>>systemConverterClass for X11 ... also looks a little fragile for lack of accessors yet X11Encoding is just such a class-side location for "utf8EncodingCode" or such like ... My other programming environment uses "utf8" as the string. Oi vey. Then there are the 'UTF-8' folks out there ... Is there a reason to avoid symbols here ? Or at least to refactor that () or: [] out and into X11Encoding ? That call at 2AM on a Sunday morning is Sooo often for similar issues that crept past code reviews ... or is this a lighter style that I am used to ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Unicode-in-Smalltalk-tp4676821p4677188.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
