Re: [Chicken-users] utf8 and pdf eggs

[Jim Ursetto]

As far as I can tell pdf egg itself does not support UTF8 output as it  
does not generate a unicode character map.  You would have to pass in  
a Latin-1 string.  For example you can save your file (which I assume  
is in UTF-8) as ISO-8859-1 using "M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system  
iso-latin-1" and then latin-1 characters will appear correctly.  This  
is unsatisfactory but latin-1 is the best you can currently do.
