Thanks, that's great. Defaulting to UTF-8 is the Right Thing to do, IMHO. I tried it out and found that I can, for example, name variables with greek letters. Neat. What was confusing me is that slime/swank seem to be using iso-latin-1-unix and so trip over greek letters. I've not yet found the knobs to twiddle in emacs to get it to use UTF-8 here, but at least the problem is not Clojure. // Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
