No, it's not contrary - just the opposite. The problem is that áéí (ANSI
1250 or whatever) have different codes to your console codepage (CP437
or whatever). You should open/edit your program source code in your
console codepage - you obviously edit it in ANSI.
The strange thing is that:
procedure w(const s:string);
begin
writeln(s);
end;
w('áéí')
also gives the correct output.
It looks like writeln ignores the codepage for constant strings but
checks it for "normal" strings. You should ask on fpc-devel list for
details.
