I have a problem with output Unicode in Windows XP console. (Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]) First code is that(from http://www.siao2.com/2008/03/18/8306597.aspx)
#include
#include
#include
int main(void) {
_setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT);
wprintf(L"\x043a\x043e\x0448\x043a\x0430 \x65e5\x672c\x56fd\n");
wprintf(L"èéøÞǽлљΣæča\n");
wprintf(L"ぐႢ\n");
wprintf(L"\x3050\x10a0\n");
return 0;
}
My codepage is 65001(CP_UTF8). Excep Ⴂ, every letter look good. But Ⴂ is look like square. Console's default font 'Lucida Console' doesn't have font for that letter. So, I downloaded some other font which can render Ⴂ correcly, but I cannot change (Visual Studio 2005 project) console font.
I changed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe\FontName, but when I check Prompt's properties -> Font, it set as 'Lucida Console'. Is there any way to change console font with API?
The next code is what I tried. But it doesn't work. Help.
#include "stdafx.h" #include "Windows.h" #include using namespace std; // Conventional wisdom is retarded, aka What the @#%&* is _O_U16TEXT? // http://www.siao2.com/2008/03/18/8306597.aspx int main() { locale::global(locale("")); // Windows Command Prompt use code page 850, // probably for backwards compatibility with old DOS programs. // Unicode at the Windows command prompt (C++; .Net; Java) // http://illegalargumentexception.blogspot.com/2009/04/i18n-unicode-at-windows-command-prompt.html // INFO: SetConsoleOutputCP Only Effective with Unicode Fonts // http://support.microsoft.com/kb/99795 // Undocumented API : SetConsoleFont // http://cboard.cprogramming.com/windows-programming/102187-console-font-size.html typedef BOOL (WINAPI *FN_SETCONSOLEFONT)(HANDLE, DWORD); FN_SETCONSOLEFONT SetConsoleFont; HMODULE hm = GetModuleHandle(_T("KERNEL32.DLL")); SetConsoleFont = (FN_SETCONSOLEFONT) GetProcAddress(hm, "SetConsoleFont"); int fontIndex = 10; // 10 is known to identify Lucida Console (a Unicode font) BOOL bRet = SetConsoleFont(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), fontIndex); // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1922294/using-unicode-font-in-c-console-app //const UINT codePage = CP_UTF8; // const UINT codePage = 1200; // 1200(utf-16 Unicode) SetConsoleOutputCP(codePage); wchar_t s[] = L"èéøÞǽлљΣæča\n"; int bufferSize = WideCharToMultiByte(codePage, 0, s, -1, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL); char* m = new char[bufferSize]; WideCharToMultiByte(codePage, 0, s, -1, m, bufferSize, NULL, NULL); // 0x00000459 "No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page." wprintf(L"%S", m); // it doesn't work wprintf(L"%s", s); // it work a bit // after L'Ⴂ' letter, wcout failed! wcout
PS : BTW, when I put "include < fcntl.h >" in "code tag", the part with in <> (fcntl.h) disappeared. How can I put system include?
Found these instructions through Google here:
http://keznews.com/3308_Adding_fonts_to_cmd_exe
Be default, the properties on a cmd.exe window allow you to select either Raster Fonts or Lucida Console. You can add other monospace fonts to the list via the registry.
In regedit, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ Console\TrueTypeFont
Notice that Lucida Console is already under this key with a name of "0".
Add a new sting value with the name "00" (yep, that's the required name) and set the data to the name of a monospace font already installed in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder. In this example, I added the Consolas font. It seems that additional entries require names "000", "0000", etc. Names like "1" and "2" don't work. For Pete's sake, why?
Open up a new cmd window, right-click on the system menu, select Properties | Font and there is the newly added font.
I did this because I wanted a more readable font for my PowerShell window, since I've been spending some time staring at it.

I followed the instructions and made Consolas my default font for cmd. It worked as expected.
Note that it will only accept monospaced fonts.
