Error pasting UTF8 text (Pharo 5-50298)

Hello

I pasted a method from a LibreOffice Writer document into Pharo and
got an error message.

To replicate the error paste

epsilon

^ 'ɛ'

as a method into a browser.

Suggestions how I can fix this?

Regards

Sure it works. To see what you want you need to use a font with wider Unicode support, like Arial Unicode MS. But regardless of the font, the data is still correct.

I don't know about your text bellow, but it does not work to paste it.
However when I display the epsilon character on libreoffice, copy it in
Pharo with proper used font, it works.

_Displaying_ a text keyboarded into Pharo works if the proper font is chosen.

1. Go for the 'Settings Browser'.
2. Search for 'font'.
3. Go to the 'Standard fonts' section
4. click on the 'code' font.
5. Click on 'Update' in the box which popped up.
6. Choose a Unicode font which can display the glyphs I want.
7. Click OK.

Pasting does not work on a Linux Mint derived edition. I'll check on MSwindows.

On linux, you also need to start the vm with the --textenc UTF-8 for the
paste to work in some cases (like from the Chrome browser).

I believe there is some command line switch to the VM to ask for Unicode clipboard handling, but I am not a Linux desktop user.

BTW, due to font substitution it is not easy to figure out which fonts have full coverage, you cannot just try in some other app.

Font substitution is what Pharo should do as well, when missing a glyph.

I am using LinuxMint and it does work, at least on DrGeo release package.
You can try to past on DrGeo to see if you got it right.
Try to past a single character.

I get it work with a VM started without line command option as well.
