Windows console message from utf-8 source

Windows console message from utf-8 source

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following minimal example:

    \starttext
    \message{En español usamos acentuación}
    \stoptext

Saved as utf-8, Linux displays the message fine. (I guess MacOS X would
do the same.)

The problem is the standard console in Windows. It requires IBM codepage
850 exclusively. (Or at least, I don’t know how to display utf-8 strings.)

Is there any way to display the content of the \message above as cp850
from a utf-8 source?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Many thanks for your help, Luigi.

As far as I remember, I use Lucida Console as font?

(I will have to check it tomorrow.)

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I thought chcp didn’t allow utf-8, because Microsoft doesn’t mention it
(https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chcp.mspx).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Hans,

following your instructions, I experience a weird issue (Win7 64bit).

Here is the minimal sample:

    \starttext
    \writestatus{Español}{con acentuación}
    \message{En español usamos acentuación}
    \stoptext

Text from \writestatus is displayed right as utf-8. But text from
\message isn’t displayed right.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
