Hi all, CL-USER> (hunchentoot-asd:*hunchentoot-version*) "1.1.0" With: (setq tbnl:*default-content-type* "text/html; charset=utf-8") called once when TBNL is initialised, Turkish characters provided in Lisp source files are sent to the client without a problem, but Turkish characters that come from a UTF-8 database via Postmodern cause the following error: Error while processing connection: #\LATIN_SMALL_LETTER_DOTLESS_I (code 305) is not a LATIN-1 character. before they can be sent to the client. Why does TBNL expect LATIN-1 characters in one context but not in another? Incidentally, I experience the same 'not a LATIN-1 character' error when I evaluate Lisp files via SLIME, but not when the files are load'ed. Putting: (setf (content-type*) "text/html; charset=utf-8") in the handler makes no difference. What else can I try? Seb P.S. Turkish characters in the results of Postmodern queries performed directly in the REPL are displayed (in SLIME) correctly. -- Emacs' AlsaPlayer - Music Without Jolts Lightweight, full-featured and mindful of your idyllic happiness. http://home.gna.org/eap
