At any rate, it would be nice if we could settle on precisely what glyphs Squeak expects to have, and where, where we will or should "tuck away" the substituted glyphs for the Squeak-Unique symbols, and determine whether its a good idea to have "invisible" typable characters, or to fix it with a glyph (or some other means to display the same). Once we settled on a "standard" encoding, presumably derived from a standard "standard" encoding of some sort, we can start building tools to facilitate the efforts of those importing Squeak fonts.
Currently the standard "standard" encoding is the Mac OS encoding. I vote for either staying with that or adopting ISO Latin-1 (the standard encoding for the WWW). In any case I donĀ“t want to lose the umlaut characters.
