Just querying to see if this bug I've discovered has already been dealt with before I report it.
(I'm new to this sort of thing so my apologies if I'm going about it the wrong way.)
The Bug:? When running a FreePascal executable, when it uses ASCII character set box-drawing characters (ASCII values 176 thru 223) for on-screen display, sometimes these characters display properly, as box characters.? Other times they display wrongly, as linguistic symbols.? The problem manifests when on my computer the DOS-command prompt window link settings are such that the display font is set to Lucinda Console; here linguistic symbols appear.? If, however, the display font for the DOS-command prompt window is set to Raster Fonts, the proper box characters will show.
My OS is Windows 7 Home premium edition, service pack 1, 64-bit.? My computer is a Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop.
The problem happens to me on FreePascal with or without Lazarus.
My Lazarus Version #: 1.0.14.? Date 2013-11-16? FPC version 2.6.2?? SVN revision 43446?? i386-Win32-win32/win64
My FreePascal without Lazarus is:? FreePascal IDE for Win 32 for i386.? Target CPU i386. Version 1.0.10 2008/08/03 (Compiler version 2.2.2) (Debugger GDB 6.2.1) Copyright (C) 1998-2008 -------------- next part --------------
