Enabling Cyrilic fonts support for console applications
People often ask me, how to enable cyrilic support for Far manager, command prompt
and other non-Unicode applications under English verion of Windows NT4/2000/XP.
I decided to make the answer available via Internet. The google.com'а will show this article
for requestors :). Let's go:
Windows NT4
Note: After changing default locale you should reinstall Service Pack 4 or higher.
It is preferred to make it before reboot.
- Open Start->Settings->Control Panel
- Chose Regional Settings
- On Regional Settings property page select Ukrainian or Russian locale.
- Check Set as system default box (See left bottom corner).
- Click on Apply button. Answer 'No' if system prompts you for reboot.
- If you prefere seeing '.' as decimal symbol, walk to NUmber and Currency pages and edit them.
- Click on Apply button. Answer 'No' if system prompts you for reboot.
- Reinstall your favorite Service Pack. (This must be Sp4 or higher).
- Reboot.
Windows 2000/XP/etc.
- Open Start->Settings->Control Panel
