Subject: Re: RubyCocoa 0.4.1: problem with stringValue (NSCharacterConversionException)

Thanks for your reporting.

That's a bug of RubyCocoa, maybe.
RubyCocoa calls method -[NSString cString] in some procedure. In this 
method, an exception occurs when system cannot convert encoding of the 
receiver string to "default encoding", not Unicode, without loss. 
The default encoding is determined from your language setting on System 
Preferences > International.
