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