I already am in my Freetype2 code.

The other thing to remember is that we should be using the unicode mapping 
anyway (nowdays).

If you look at a quickie font reference:

m := AlignmentMorph new color: Color white.
m listDirection: #topToBottom; wrapDirection: #leftToRight; cellPositioning: 
#leftCenter; hResizing: #shrinkWrap; vResizing: #shrinkWrap; cellInset: 5; 
layoutInset: 5; extent: 700 at 700; borderWidth: 2; openInWorld.
TextStyle actualTextStyles keys asArray withIndexDo: [ :k :fnum |
t := TextMorph new hResizing: #shrinkWrap; vResizing: #shrinkWrap; extent: 
600 at 600; fontName: k pointSize: 14; contentsAsIs: (Text streamContents: 
[ :strm | 
strm withAttribute: TextColor red do: [ strm nextPutAll: k ]; cr. (33 to: 255) 
do: [ :v | strm nextPut: (Character value: v). (v \\ 32) isZero ifTrue: 
[ strm cr ] ]]); yourself.
fnum even ifTrue: [ t backgroundColor: m color darker ].
m addMorphBack: t. ].

You'll see that our stock fonts are in fact Unicode.

I have some code that fixes this; I'll post it soon.
