Sorry, but I still can not understand why  the images 3.6, 3.7, 3.8,3 .9 &
3.10 work with accents on the windows vm and they don't do it using current
unix vm, but work  (without using utf-8)  using older  unix-vm.  After all
this long thread I still can not see why it has to be fixed in the image,
thus condemning all the previous squeak images on unix, and not fixed in the
vm as windows vm has done, letting windows users choose any image and work
with it without most problems. It does not sound logical.

Why the unix vm can not do what Andreas did: "The Windows VM should not
report
dead keys itself but rather the composed character" ?
That would solve everything and all the past & present images would work.

Cheers.
