IIRC Ian's VM still defaults to MacRoman. For Etoys we explicitly set the encoding to UTF-8 in the launch script.
How about we require a "4.x" VM to use only utf-8?
That would be just wonderful :-)

Folks -
Just a quick check on the status of UTF-8 support in the VMs. Do we by now have agreement that all strings coming into the VM and out of the VM should be in UTF-8 by default? Including, but not limited to file and directory names, clipboard contents, etc?
I'd really like to simplify some of the code to not have to deal with all of these conversions and simply assume that on any path into the VM we perform a UTF-8 conversion and get over with it.
Cheers,
