Hey ! we're trolling on windows nt choice concerning ansi/unicode functions duality, right ?

RTFM


i've installed some webservers, and as far as i can tell, it's always possible to configure a full ISO system, even with nano, even over SSH, even if, yes, it needs a clever admin. I believe the same goes for UTF-8.
As for LCDs, i dont know how it could change the fact that a pixel is a pixel, but i may be wrong ! In fact, the only problem with UTF-8 is that... you have to draw the chars then.

No really, ANSI ? are you serious ? do you really think it has a benefit outside the USA ?

Please see my post earlier in the thread. Windows "ANSI" has nothing to do with ANSI (Except in a historical context)
