13 | All of the examples that come with Boost.Locale are designed for UTF-8 and it is | |
14 | the default encoding used by Boost.Locale. | |
15 | ||
16 | However, the default narrow encoding under Microsoft Windows is not UTF-8 and | |
17 | the output of the applications would not be displayed correctly in the console. | |
18 | ||
19 | So in order to use UTF-8 encoding under the Windows console and see the output correctly, do the following: | |
20 | ||
21 | -# Open a \c cmd window | |
22 | -# Change the default font to a TrueType font: go to properties-\>font (right click on title-bar-\>properties-\>font) and | |
23 | change the font to a TrueType font like Lucida Console | |
24 | -# Change the default codepage to 65001 (UTF-8) by running <tt>chcp 65001</tt> | |
25 | ||
26 | Now all of the examples should display UTF-8 characters correctly (if the font supports them). | |
27 | ||
28 | <b>Note for Visual Studio users:</b> Microsoft Visual Studio assumes that all source files are encoded using an "ANSI" codepage | |
29 | like 1252. However all examples use UTF-8 encoding by default, so wide character examples would | |
30 | not work under MSVC as-is. In order to force it to treat source files as UTF-8 you need to | |
31 | convert the files to UTF-8 with BOM, which can be done easily by re-saving them from Notepad, | |
32 | which adds a BOM to UTF-8 files by default. | |
