Encoding problems with Russian translation (Windows)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Downloaded the latest windows binaries.
2. Tried to run via PowerShell.
3. The output is

PS C:\Users\1\Desktop\pdf2djvu-0.7.10> .\pdf2djvu.exe

The standart shell gives the same output.

What's the output of the "chcp" command?

The codepage is 866.

That makes no sense to me. :/ As far as I can tell, in Russian locale, pdf2djvu 
does output in CP866.

Anyway, could you paste output of the attached program? Maybe it'll shed some 
light to the problem.

Sure, here is the output you requested:
C:\Users\1\Desktop>getcpinfo.exe
ACP = 1251
OEMCP = 866
ConsoleOutputCP = 866

I encountered the same problem while working on one of my projects (I used 
MSVC++ for compilation), and I never managed to find any workaround (though I 
tried hard, spent some time lurking around setlocale(), ios::imbue(), 
CharToOem()) but to use Unicode (wchar_t) and wide strings and streams.

Please inform me if there is a way to use pdf2djvu in English. I tried to 
convert a pdf, but unsuccessfully, and the problem is, I cannot understand the 
error message, it is in Mojibake. :)

Apparently the console expects output in Windows-1521, even though 
GetConsoleOutputPC() returns 866. This is so broken.

Using wide strings I/O is not an option for me, unfortunately.

There are two methods for switching to English:
1) Temporary one: set LANGUAGE environment variable to "en".
2) Permanent one: remove the locale\ru\LC_MESSAGES\pdf2djvu.mo file.

Could you try to change console font a TrueType one and see if it helps?
