Yes. This thing is *extremely* annoying. You can cut and paste any string to anything, but you cannot do it in squeak.<br>

Really? I don't recall seeing a bug report from you. What platform are you on? What problems did you have? You really should report such problems when you have them - how do you expect us to fix problems that we don't know about?<br>
<br>

</font></blockquote></div>LOL Andreas... 99,999% of first-time users will NEVER fill a bug. They will go out and say "It's pure bullshit". :))))) Come on... we all do it ten times a day.<br><br>As per myself... I discussed this thing on IRC a number of times, wrote about it here because under Win even directory paths prevent Squeak from working and all I got was the usual kind of thing you get from unstable Open Source stuff: not much really, but at least it didn't cost me a penny. <br>
<br>No probs, I switched OS and images until I found a configuration that works for what I need, but while I can use Squeak for development I surely don't plan to distribute it. It is self-evident that the community is currently too small to make a stable distro. I admire you all for what you are doing, and I will contribute as much as I can, but customers want things that do not break.<br>
<br>Google around a bit in languages that don't use Latin and see what people says of squeak... this surely doesn't help in getting the critical mass squeak needs. Nobody's personal fault, sure. Yet the problem remains and it's a tough one.<br>
<br>Berto<br> <br>PS: this is one mail I found<br>==========================<br>Hi Bèrto -<br>
<br>
This looks like a bug in the UTF-8 conversion that the VM does. I'll
check it. As a workaround, you can try an earlier VM to see if this
helps.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have a weird thing happening. I downloaded the latest <span class="il">squeak</span>
and when it opens it immediately delivers this error. Okay, so I open
and close the emergency evaluator then I can work. But as soon as I try
to save an updated image... here we go again. So no saving, which is
obviously bad.<br>
<br>
Running on<br>
XP pro 2002 version, SP2 (russian edition)<br>
<span class="il">Squeak</span> 3.10.2<br>
<br>
It looks like the problem is connected to my filesystem strings.<br>
In secureUserDirectory<br>
dir := self primSecureUserDirectory.<br>
<br></div>
generates a string in the form path+username which results in trouble: 'C:\Program Files\<span class="il">Squeak</span>\Áýðòó'. My username on the system is in cyrillic, and this really looks like it.<div class="im">
<br>
<br>
Then in convertFromWithConverter (ByteString) the exception is raised.<br>
<br>
I've been googling a bit about this, but I cannot seem to find much.
Any hint at what we should do? It does look like a problem that is
going to occur over and over again, and since the app I'm about to
write deals with languages and thousands of different scripts... This
is a bit worrying.<br>
<br>
Let me know.<br></div>
