Summary: Charset translation in standard output Product: Wine Version: 1.1.8 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: atari@gabo.pl
There is no charset translation for windows applications that output to standard output (console). This may be tested with country specific (Polish) RAR.EXE executables found in WinRar. Instead of native characters I see garbage.
If it is not possible to detect charset for non-gui output, there could be a registry key for default charset. Windows has option to select default charset for non-unicode programs in Regional Settings, so I think this can be used.
(btw. with wineconsole everything is fine)
