Then adding utf-8 support to any interface that currently uses scheme could be almost as simple as writing "scheme-utf-8:" instead of "scheme:" in the generated output. In any case I now have a patch to the texmacs package in FriCAS that does the utf-8 to Cork conversion. I have attached a draft FriCAS patch, the modified fricas-input plugin and an example document (also in PDF format). More comments welcome! If/when there are no objections or suggestions I will clean it up and submit a final version. Cheers, Bill Page.
