Hi,
I have tried the latest version of Slime from CVS and found that it does not like Unicode. When I try to do something like
(format nil "<unicode text goes here>")
It reports an error that the characters can not be presented in iso-latin-1-unix encoding.
However, when I changed "slime.el" a bit by adding utf-8-unix
(defvar slime-net-coding-system (find-if 'slime-find-coding-system '(utf-8-unix iso-latin-1-unix iso-8859-1-unix binary)) "*Coding system used for network connections. See also `slime-net-valid-coding-systems'.")
it started to work just fine.
Is there any good reason for using Latin-1 instead of UTF-8? If not, perhaps somebody could patch the Slime to support Unicode in REPL by default?
With kind regards, Denys Rtveliashvili
