i have done the test and it was not the font, the font displays in the
standard-command/cmd shell all umlaut characters correct if i type 'dir'
but the same font in cygwin-bash produces only ? instead of a umlaut.
Suppose i have a file with name "klausÄÖÜ":
ls --version:
ls (GNU fileutils) 4.0
(Lars uses 3.16; can this be the problem??)
ls -b
klaus\300\322\330
ls -N
klaus???
You have mentioned the codepage: How can i change the codepage and what
codepage must i use??
Thanks in advance,
Klaus
