It seems to be working for me. In OSX Terminal, I do
export LANG=de.UTF-8
maxima-local
:lisp (stream:set-system-external-format :utf8) ; cmucl fix
? additive
It looks like the correct German characters. At least it's not just a ?
as before. The cmucl fix is to tell cmucl that we want to output the
strings using utf8. Otherwise it will default to iso8859-1 and the
output would be messed up.
