OK I've applied it. I thought there already was a latin-2 encoding (from the 
friends from Hungary :) but it seems not to be in the repository.

Thanks,

Subject: [cl-pdf-devel] cl-pdf and cl-typesetting licences.

A recent blog entry (1) from Christophe Rhodes reminded me that I had put an 
advertising clause in the licence of cl-pdf and cl-typesetting.

The idea behind this advertising clause was to help promote Common Lisp by 
giving it more visibility. Nowdays I think it's probably more a nuisance 
than a good thing so I removed it and replaced it by this text:

"Note that though this licence has no advertising clause anymore, it is
recommenced that applications using cl-pdf/cl-typesetting, like Web servers,
Web applications or native applications, insert somewhere (in the about or
credits page for instance) "Document(s) generated with 
cl-pdf/cl-typesetting"
This is not a licence requirement and is only asked as a way to to help
promote the use of the Common Lisp language."

I have just released version 0.94 of Exscribe, which thanks to the
work of Denis Mashkevich, now includes a working cl-typesetting
backend.

The typesetting backend is very feature poor and slow, but it's there
and it works well enough to typeset some simple articles.

Great! Thanks to Denis.

I have to add that there's nothing to be excited about at the moment -
this is just a quick hack to get _some_ pdf output out of exscribe;
that said, development is under way, please expect major changes in
the coming weeks. Hopefully this will complement cl-typesetting
functionality nicely.

One major shortcoming of cl-typesetting that is holding
exscribe-typesetting back is the lack of the mechanism to place
footnotes on the page they belong. If nothing is planned in this
regard by cl-typesetting developers, I will implement  it - and I will
be grateful for any thoughts and pointers on how to go about it
(concering algorithms and cl-typesetting architecture).

Thanks to Marc and other cl-pdf and cl-typestting developers for the
wonderful libraries; same to Far? for exscribe.

Denis.
