If you can detect that they are different, why can't you adjust the codeWhat should we do if we detect that they differ:
page in that case only?
- set the console code page to the ansi code page. This has two drawbacks: It doesn't work with Indic, because Indic doesn't have an ansi code page. And the user must still switch the console font. But: if the user must change the configuration, then he can as easily change both the font and the code page. Which means: SetConsoleCP is the wrong approach.
- OemToChar() and CharToOem() convert all console input/output. In the long run this might be the better solution, if it works entirely without user intervention. I'm not sure if it's possible to get all corner cases right.
