[slime-devel] how to use utf-8, iso-8859-1 with clisp
Hello, (this is with clisp 2.48 on cygwin + windows XP and slime ) I can start up clisp on my laptop with utf-8 and iso-8859-1 encodings (clisp -E utf-8, for example) However, setting `slime-net-coding-system' to utf-8 or iso-8859-1 gives a slime start-up error since the allowed encodings are utf-8-UNIX, iso-8859-1-UNIX (capitalization mine). I can easily change that in `slime-net-valid-coding-systems'. But what is going on here? Thanks, Mirko

You should set slime-net-coding-system to 'utf-8-unix. -- With Best Regards, Stas.

utf-8-unix does not work for me: I have a csv file with german umlauts (which begs the question are there non-german umlauts?) In bare clisp, I can read this file with under iso-8859-1 encoding, but not with utf-8 encoding. Error message is: *** - READ-CHAR: Invalid byte sequence #xE4 #x74 #x20 in CHARSET:UTF-8 conversion (I am surprised by this) That is the reason why I would like to start with iso-8859-1. (Maybe I should take this to the clisp group to see what is up with utf-8) Mirko

And encoding of the communication between slime and swank doesn't have anything to do with encoding of files.
Set your slime-net-coding-system to 'utf-8-unix and start clisp with utf-8, but read your file with (with-open-file (stream file :external-format charset:iso-8859-1) ...) -- With Best Regards, Stas.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

I will give it a shot. Mirko
