[Newbies] [[ru:Планктон]] = [[ru:????????]] in workspace.

[gettimothy]

Just tested it on my local copy of SeasideDoc and it does not display correctly.



I will figure it out another day.



Is it a big job to incorporate other Character Sets into Squeak?



thanks

This is a font problem. The default font in Squeak lacks Cyrillic characters.
If you paste the Russian version and make it a string and inspect it, as in 
    '[[ru:Планктон]]' inspect

you will see that from index 6 on, the Unicode codepoints of the Cyrillic characters are actually correct, but just cannot be displayed.
