For Seaside you don't need to display the string so you can just ignore it.
And don't get me "but we need it for fonts". The only way to get nice fonts in Squeak is to avoid it and do it in C with char*.
This is a very confused statement. You better pass the font and language information to the outside renderer to get the proper result.
