Copying Greek/Hebrew? Text to FF does not function.

1.Run Unicorn
2.Ctrl+G for Greek Keyboard
3.Type something
4.Strg+a, Strg+c
5.Paste in FF -> Only ????? appear
but: 6.Paste in OOo -> all correct.

Comment from dmik (http://svn.netlabs.org/java/ticket/54):
Tried this application. I believe that the same (?????) happens if you try to paste the text from it to a regular OS/2 application such as e.exe. Obviously, Greek symbols cannot be represented in your 8-bit code page so Java (Odin) inserts them to the clipboard using a custom Unicode clipboard format but FF seems to prefer the standard 8-bit CF_TEXT format (that cannot represent these symbols and contains ?????) instead of the custom Unicode format, while OOo prefers the latter and therefore works.

I think the problem should be reported to the OS/2 FF maintainers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
2.
3.

OS/2 is no longer a supported platform.
