Yes, this is the right list, and thank you for contributing.
I have problems with accent characters in fileOut and subsequent fileIn (??????) because i'm French
It seems that Squeak saves fileOut files always in UTF8 now, but uses a converter not UTF8 for the fileIn.
With the following modification it works for me, but i did not try all cases so...
You are right that UTF8 conversion in required. There is actually a fix for this issue in the newer Squeak 6.0 release, but it is part of a much larger set of changes so I do not know if it is easy to back port to Squeak 5.3.
Maybe Marcel Taeumel can comment. Marcel, would it make sense to back port just the MultiByteFileStream>>setConverterForCode method to the Squeak53 repository? To avoid name collision with trunk we might want to commit it as a "branch" (e.g. "Multilingual.backport-xyz.254") with an update map entry, I can help with that if you think it is a good idea to backport the method.

The modif is :
MultiByteFileStream >> setConverterForCode setConverterForCode ???? ??| currentPosition | ???? ??(SourceFiles at: 2) ???? ???????? ifNotNil: [self fullName = (SourceFiles at: 2) fullName ifTrue: [^ self]]. ???? ??"currentPosition := self position. ???? ??self position: 0. ???? ??self binary. ???? ??((self next: 3) = #[ 16rEF 16rBB 16rBF ]) ifTrue: [" ???? ???????? self converter: UTF8TextConverter new ???? ??"] ifFalse: [ ???? ???????? self converter: MacRomanTextConverter new. ???? ??]. ???? ??self position: currentPosition." ???? ??self text.
with this modification, Squeak will always use UTF8TextConverter
