It's quite a bit less powerful than TeX. There's only a few inbuilt fonts and none support non-ASCII characters from what I remember.

It's much more convenient than writing TeX I suppose, but it's quite limiting in what you can do.

Does it support mat hstuff fairly well? Like integrals or cube roots for example

But it can't do close to as much as TeX; I used cl-typesetting because I didn't want to lug around a TeX system for an accounting program.

I don't think there was much math support. (And I really didn't like the fonts.)

FYI, I've asked blix.com to intervene wrt the troll that repeatedly connects to #lisp from their network. If they don't respond, I'll ban the whole ASN.

Hello! Can I expect closer-mop:class-prototype to work on a condition class on most implementations? It work on SBCL.
10:12:27

I'm fairly sure you cannot expect condition classes to be standard-classes, but I don't know of any implementations that don't do that.

no-defun-allowed: hmm, on SBCL they appear to not be standard-classes, but the method is still defined for condition classes

I need to use class-prototype when doing make-method-lambda to get the generic-function-method-class, but I wonder if it's ok to just do (make-condition 'my-condition) and use that as a "prototype"?

SBCL has its own condition classes, and everywhere else conditions are standard objects with full MOP support.

is the purpose for which Franz's LLGPL exists primarily to enable the distribution of their compiler as closed-source?

phoe: I wrote, a few days ago, that I prefer to take the licensing issue elsewhere. it is a long and nasty conversation.
10:48:44

As far as I know, it's to clean up how late binding interacts with component boundaries.

I also wrote [in #lispcafe] that the conversation on this topic should be in an officially logged channel.
10:50:39

That also includes redefinitions and generic functions, apparently, but it's just clearing up what's a derivative work and what's not.

well that's just an extraneous landmine: :ASDF has no slot named ASDF/COMPONENT:LICENCE.
