I thought I had already set this, but apparently had not or set it in some session. notice that "man bash", creates a different output based on the value of LESSCHARSET.
I wanted to use utf-8, but when I set that, I get characters that don't display properly. Worse, if I set my code page in the window to the utf-8 code page, (chcp.com 65001), and type man to display it, the display actually seems to pause (sorta hang)....I say sorta, but I can press keys and go to the next page, but the output is missing many lines. I can control-C out of it.
It _may_ be only happening if one has catman variables setup, as that is where I ran into it -- a manpage that had been formatted with LESSCHAR=utf-8 (apparently), that wouldn't display properly.
I'm not sure when I last displayed that page if I had something else set in my environment that caused it to display correctly, but I'd like my console to display UTF-8 properly as my server uses utf-8 to display files. Explorer seems to correctly view UTF-8 named files on my server, so I'd assume I need to set my command window to the same settings for proper display.
But I'm not coming up with anything that is working. Is this a bug in ...in what? The command shell that's running bash? Note that I get the same garbage characters in rxvt, but changing the codepage doesn't affect the output there.
The characters look like this in rxvt: OPTIONS
In addition to the singleÃâÂcharacter shell options documented in the ^^ description of the set builtin command, bash interprets the following options when it is invoked: ÃËâc string If the ÃËâc option is present, then commands are read from ^^^ ^^^
--- Does utf-8 support work in cygwin? or in a bash.exe shell?
