Dear Walter,
Please take a close look at my last 3 attachements having "edit in Notepad and
compile result in Console" text in descriptions.
Note that all Russians have 866 codepage by default in Windows Command Prompt.
Nobody will be switching 866 to any other codepage for console application.

Going by your screenshots and their descriptions, DMD is behaving correctly.

I do, however, feel that D's stdio ought to support codepages(In reply to

You mean it's hard-coded for each language's edition of Windows?  That's something else that ought to change.

Console output is an entirely separate issue from source encoding.  I feel that
D's stdio ought to support codepages, but it doesn't (aside from the fact that
printf isn't part of D's stdio).  Meanwhile, please check out my utility
library

I think support for codepages and other character types could be implemented in a library. That was the ambitious purpose behind std.encoding. Yet another great project for someone interested.

As to console output, it's a duplicate of (runtime) bug 2742 or bug 1448. Tango and C API work correctly, phobos doesn't. As to cp1251, this ice age technology is definitely not a way to go, unicode is a future. No, it's the present. Windows works in unicode and you should use it. As to convertion of source from ANSI to OEM codepage, it's valid RFE, but hardly one will implement it. You can try yourself.

This is getting OT for this bug report, but it's 2742 to which what this conversation has drifted into is related.  1448 is a separate issue.

> As to convertion of source from ANSI to OEM codepage, it's valid RFE, but hardly one will implement it. You can try yourself.

I already have.  See comment 17.

Hmm... your library is just an API, it has nothing to do with source encoding and as far as I see it accepts utf8 text, not ANSI.

As has a lot of the discussion here from comment 13 onwards.

Maybe, to avoid confusion, we should continue this conversation at bug 2742. Or perhaps even better, on the newsgroup.

> and as far as I see it accepts utf8 text, not ANSI.

Not quite.  It communicates with the console in the console codepage. Application code communicates with it in UTF-8.
