Thanks Sven. I'm using the latest Cog build on the latest pharo 1.3 build on linux with ubuntu system fonts loaded and am using in pharo the same font as my gEdit text editor which displays correctly. Anyone know why this error occurs or why the fonts show up as question marks. I am trying to consider using pharo for some Chinese projects and need to ensure all string throughout pharo respect UTF8 well. Is the smalltalk code also stored in UTF8 form? Also, anyone have a trick for capturing the full stack trace from a walkback or debugger as a text stream so I can copy into emails? thanks, Jon On 07/26/2011 02:55 AM, Sven Van Caekenberghe wrote:
Hi Jon,
Welcome to Pharo!
This seems to work for me:
| cnString | cnString := '请æ¶èæ们çç½å'. cnString collect: [ :each | each charCode ] as: Array
"Print It"
#(35831 25910 34255 25105 20204 30340 32593 22336)
I took the string from www.google.cn, I don't know what it meansâ¦
Mind you, due to font limitations, it shows as question marks in the workspace.
I guess this depends on the OS/VM. I did this example in Pharo 1.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.7 using Croquet Closure Cog VM [CoInterpreter VMMaker-oscog.47] Pharo Cog VM.
HTH,
Sven

I'm not sure what to expect with UTF-8 encoding in Pharo. Can someone point me to some docs or past discussion?
I have tried this today in pharo 1.3:
1 - in a workspace: cnString := ''. 2 - Now I go to Firefox and copy 4 simplified Chinese characters and try to paste this in between the quotes of the smalltalk string in the workspace. 3 - the paste operation throws "Error: Invalid utf8 input detected"
The web page I'm copying from is utf-8 encoded. I can copy text from this page and paste into vim or gEdit just fine. The error is thrown by UTF8TextConvertor>>errorMalformedInput
I would provide a stack trace...but being new to pharo, I'm not sure how to grab such a report without doing a screen capture.
thanks, Jon
