Use locales in connection with codepages #116

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

MinTTY currently ignores POSIX locales completely, i.e. neither do the
likes of LC_CTYPE influence MinTTY's choice of codepage nor does MinTTY
itself set locale variables. This needs to change, although exactly how
needs to be investigated.

If a locale modifier for the CJK ambiguous width is added to newlib, that
also needs to be handled correctly.

Implemented in r494 on trunk. The options dialog now has locale and charset 
settings.
If neither of them is set, the locale set in the environment is used. Otherwise 
the
environment locale is overridden in the child process, i.e. LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE 
are
cleared and LANG is set.
