Thanks, Raul. The command 'chcp 65001' does make the box-drawing work right if I launch cmd.exe, execute chcp 65001, then execute jconsole.exe within that window. That's an improvement.
What I was hoping, though, is to have jconsole.exe open directly and work. I defined a key on my keyboard such that a jconsole.exe window opens at the touch of that button. This puts me, in effect, in the same mode as after I run jconsole.exe in a command-line window. At that point it's too late to use chcp 65001. So far I don't see any way to have chcp 65001 be a default setting for command-line mode. That's what I think it would take for directly-launched jconsole.exe windows to support box display properly. -- Tracy On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 4:54 PM, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > ... > I think the problem is cmd.exe > > They display fine for me, when I run jconsole in my usual > environment (windows 7, 64 bit, mintty cygwin window). > But I get the same thing you get if I run jconsole in a cmd > window. > ... > > > http://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2010/06/06-07-10-unicode-cmd-code-page-checkup.html > suggests that chcp 65001 will fix the problem, and this > worked for me after I changed my cmd.exe font from > raster fonts to lucidia console. > > FYI, > > -- > Raul > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
