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
