The bug was closed during weekend. This is somewhat lengthy and special feedback. (It concerned the behavior of writeln() with symbols from the upper half of the 8 bit character table. Those symbols were output as question marks.) By the way, as I get it, some string conversions are performed only on the lower 128 symbols too (widestring->common string). This bug is solved. However (as Maxim Ganetsky, who invented the patch, noted) the windows console is a mess. There still is a not very nice problem. I describe it below for fpc 2.1.x, win32, winxpsp2, codepages cp-1251 and cp-866 (both are russian, i.e. cyrillic).
