I think it's the other way around: GetACP is likely to report codepage
1252, the ANSI codepage of Windows localized for Western Europe
systems. Codepage 850, OTOH, is the _console_ codepage for those
locales. (Yes, it's a mess.) Info makes a point to query the system
about the console output codepage:
char *
rpl_nl_langinfo (nl_item item)
{
if (item == CODESET)
{
static char buf[100];
/* We need all the help we can get from GNU libiconv, so we
request transliteration as well. */
sprintf (buf, "CP%u//TRANSLIT", GetConsoleOutputCP ()); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
return buf;
}
else
return nl_langinfo (item);
}
