However, I can see that for every mintty window (and bash) I get a conhost process running. I assume that it is where the character setting is stored for non-cygwin processes started from bash. Again, it is my naive believe, that somewhere there maybe a convenient place to call SetConsoleOutputCP with argument matching content of the LANG environment variable. --pawel -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
