I've managed to use/create Korean(actually unicode with UTF-8  
encoding) environment where I can read Korean(and other UTF-8 encoded  
characters if my font supports them).
The main problem is that Squeak uses Latin1/ISO-8859-1 as default  
character set instead of Unicode/UTF-8 and many code assumes Latin1  
as default one. I have to make some modification for this(but only  
very small modification is just needed). And font creation is easy.  
(But I cannot figure out how to import from non unicode character set  
bdf font) Thank you very much you guys who create unicode system in  
squeak.
