It looks like you can change it temporarily for a given prompt. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.mft.doc%2Fae19495_.htm Open a new command (DOS) prompt: # This is what I use normally c:\>chcp Active code page: 437 # Change it to this c:\>chcp 1252 Active code page: 1252 # Run lua and see what happens.

Can you try the above commands and let me know what they print for you? ========================= The code I posted is to ensure that the Lua parser uses the C locale (1.0 not 1,0), but using require("wx") means that Lua has already parsed the Lua code so that doesn't matter. I imagine the right thing to do would be to save the locale before initializing wxWidgets in wx.dll then if changed set to back to what it was. I don't know if this is a suitable solution though. If the locale was forced to 'C' or back to what it was then Lua might work "normally", but the GUI would look wrong for some people. I would imagine that wxWidgets changes it to make the GUI right and that's probably the right thing to do. Hopefully you can force it back by calling Lua's os.setlocale("C", "all") and if it works I'll put it in the FAQ.
