Hello, If I write a "µ" character in a buffer and try to save it I get this error (LWw): Error: In a call to seq::%set-access-array: #\µ is not of type base-char. 1 (continue) Abort editor command. 2 (abort) Return to event loop. My Editor File encoding preferences are both Latin-1. Thanks, Francis

What does (char-code #\µ) return for you in the listener? Even though this is a valid Latin-1 character (code 181), I'm wondering if something about your settings is inserting the unicode version of this character. If Latin-1 is not a specific requirement, you could set your external format to UTF-8. John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL

The Editor tool's Preferences dialog doesn't offer UTF-8 (LWw). Maybe this not supported in LW for Windows ?

The "Set External Format" command works: I can insert the unicode version of the micro sign (char-code 956) and save the buffer. >I'm sure there is a way to make UTF-8 the default by putting >something in your init file, but it escapes me at the moment. If you >can't find it, let me know and I'll dig further. I have tried: (setf (editor:variable-value "Output Format Default") '(:utf-8 :eol-style :lf)) (setf (editor:variable-value "Input Format Default") '(:utf-8 :eol-style :lf)) To make the change permanent, it had to: - first eval these 2 forms - save from the editor preference dialog (putting the forms in the init file has no effect). However, after restarting LW, I get this error when I try to open *any* lisp file : Error reading file g:\pe\bugs.lisp: Undefined external format nil. A bug in the editor maybe?

It works for me on both Mac and Windows (LW 4.6.6). I have checked it again, it doesn't work on my PC. LW 4.4.6 too :-) , Windows XP >>I have tried: >>(setf (editor:variable-value "Output Format Default") '(:utf-8 :eol- style :lf)) >>(setf (editor:variable-value "Input Format Default") '(:utf-8 :eol- style :lf)) > >I have it like this (but I'm not loading it from an init file): > >(setf (editor:variable-value "Output Format Default" :global nil) >'(:utf-8 :eol-style :lf)) >(setf (editor:variable-value "Input Format Default" :global nil) >'(:utf-8 :eol-style :lf)) It doesn't make any difference. Idem with :global T. Thanks, Francis >John > > > > >John DeSoi, Ph.D. >http://pgedit.com/ >Power Tools for PostgreSQL > >

All this looks too weird to me. I'll wait the next release of LW and try again at that time. Thank you for your time, Francis >HTH, > >Jukka Kakko
