I tested this on Windows 7 in a pristine virtual machine, and cmd.exe passes just fine, even with code page 437 and crappy raster font. Meanwhile bash.exe fails. > Mintty selection of Options/Text/Locale and Character set UTF-8 or cmd > chcp 65001 selects Unicode. No one said anything about Mintty. This is about bash.exe, launched by itself or via Cygwin.bat > Alt-numpad-+-hex (on regular keys) allows hex unicode input e.g. > Alt+3a9 if the font supports the character.

Raster, Consolas and Lucida all work already through cmd.exe. I do appreciate your response, but all you have done here is thrown a bunch of guesses at the wall hoping something would stick. It would be a better use of everyones time if you actually tested your suggestions before posting them. -- 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
