RE: FW: How to display Russian Cyrillic and Chinese in Cygwin Bash Console?
I was google searching for documentation and could not find much on rxvt.org. The best documentation seems to be in the man page. I just did a cygwin update. Are we off topic here because this is really an XFree86 topic? I cannot figure out how to run the non-X version of rxvt but I remember selecting it from the cygwin installation program. I'd be glad to use that if I could make it work. Anyway, according to the man page, there are several code pages none of which are utf8. I was hoping to print the Cyrillic alphabet with this program: perl -wle binmode STDOUT, q[:utf8]; print chr() for 0x410 .. 0x430; Hi Siegfried, Install rxvt and use that instead. I believe there's a unicode package of it in Cygwin - it should have no trouble displaying cyrillic or chinese characters. So could you expand upon this Unicode package? what do I look for in the cygwin installer in addition to the rxvt packages? I tried specifying the font Arial Unicode MS which contains fonts for Chinese and Russian. It seemed to use the font but would not correctly print the Russian alphabet.

You should install 'rxvt-unicode' package, then read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-unicode-X-7.7.README which contains a lot of useful information on how to configure and use it. (Except that it says that vi can't display UTF-8 which is not true because you can :set enc=utf-8). Your perl command works well and displays Cyrillic letters in my rxvt-unicode window. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
FW: How to display Russian Cyrillic and Chinese in Cygwin Bash Console?
Is the third time a charm! I hope so. I forgot to turn off HTML again! I apologize if this query appears again. Since I saw no replies (and not even my own posting) after checking my spam filters, I assume it never got to the list (Maybe I forgot to turn of HML the first time too!) Is it possible to do this (display Russian Cyrillic and Chinese) at the cygwin console prompt? I hear it is not possible at CMD.EXE prompt. I'm not sure how the bash console is implemented in cygwin but if it is running CMD.EXE underneath and CMD.EXE cannot do it, the outlook is bleak! I was really suprised to learn that CMD.exe cannot do it and I question the accuracy of my source. I did some searching and experimenting and I cannnot figure out how to do it with the cygwin bash console. I have posted a similar query on the XFree list because I would like to do it both in xterm and the cygwin bash console (is there a better name for this since it could be running some other shell?)

Thanks, Siegfried Hi Siegfried, Install rxvt and use that instead. I believe there's a unicode package of it in Cygwin - it should have no trouble displaying cyrillic or chinese characters. You can convert your existing Cygwin startup script to launch rxvt instead of starting bash in a CMD prompt, or you can change the shortcut to start rxvt straight away - this way you don't have a 'phantom' cmd window hanging around.. There have been messages about doing so in the past, and a quick google should turn something up.
