it would be good if you could test its correctness and we could add it to
arnesi. try to find some openmcl docs/examples. is openmcl unicode ready at
all?

also make sure you use the latest version from:
ftp://clozure.com/pub/testing/

you can easily test it the result with lines like these:

(arnesi:write-string-to-file "áűüóé" #P"/tmp/x" :external-format :utf-8)
(arnesi:read-string-from-file #P"/tmp/x" :external-format :utf-8)


Then restarting UCW, I catch these error:

nope, that warning is normal. the resources are later reloaded when the
appropiate package (ucw.lang) is available.

the problem is that openmcl does not seem to understand utf character names.
you may safely comment out some of the character constants in
cl-l10n/languages/common.lisp (the hungarian plural will not work correctly.
but i guess you won't really care... :)

if you can send a patch or paste the part of the file that shows what is
unsupported on openmcl then i'll add it to the repos.

Thanks in advance?

if you are looking for the easiest solution then just try another lisp, sbcl
should work if it's available.

hth,
