Hi, I've upgraded to Cygwin 1.7 (release version, clean install) and now am unable to print text files with non-ascii characters (i.e. German umlauts) from commandline.
On Cygwin 1.5 printing used to work with a2ps but now all umlauts are replaced by strange characters (i.e. the u with diaeresis appears as a capital A with a tilde and '1/4'). The same happens with lpr. The files print fine using the Windows text editor. I'm using mintty on Windows Vista Business and nano to produce the files. Files with umlauts are recognized as UTF-8 by the file command. Is there an alternative to a2ps or a fix/workaround? Thanks in advance!
