RE: encoding problems and vm crashing - smallwiki

    "Head Start"

 When I save it, the squeak VM blow chunks and dies, I think on the 
 illegal characters.  I'm not sure how to tackle this, I'm assuming 
 it's really a seaside problem accepting the form upload without 
 properly forcing some encoding on it or something.  Anyone have any 
 ideas here, someone's had to ran into this already, pasting   text into 
  Pier being fatal.  Suggestions?  
 Mhh, it works in my 3.8 image and vm. Can you reproduce this 
 with a simpler application? Maybe even without the web? Do 
 you get a stack- trace in the console?

 Cheers,
 Lukas

Hmm.. I don't have it handy at the moment, but I do recall seeing
something in the stack trace about fonts, I have Win32 fonts installed,
let me try it tonight when I get home on a clean VM and see.  BTW, can
you review my notes on the latest Pier check in, I was working on
PRFilePersistency and could use a little input.
