Which character encoding is configured on my computer?
You can use the command 'xprnls info' of the XPRNLS command tool to identify which encoding is used on your system. The following example shows the output produced for western European Windows / 'latin' encoding with UK English as the selected language (the program output is highlighted in bold face):
| > xprnls info Language: en Default encodings: System: CP1252 Console: CP437 File names: CP1252 Wide chars: UTF-16LE |
Note that Xpress Workbench works with UTF-8 character encoding, independent of the system settings.
