Hey, I'm sure this has been answered before, but maybe things have changed since. I just tried monotone in a cmd window on a Windows box with Swedish settings, and got this: ------------------------------------------------------------ C:\keyex>mtn help mtn: allvarligt: fel: misslyckades med att konvertera en strõng frÕn UTF-8 till ASCII: 'C:/Documents and Settings/Administrat÷r/Application Data/monotone/monotonerc' mtn: detta õr nõstan helt sõkert ett programfel i monotone. mtn: var god skicka detta felmeddelande, utskriften av 'mtn --full-version' mtn: och en beskrivning av det du gjorde till [email protected]. mtn: discarding debug log, because I have nowhere to write it mtn: (maybe you want --debug or --dump?) ------------------------------------------------------------ Of course, it's not hard to understand that the path name of the administrator (called Administratör in Swedish, which sometimes gives that odd character in the cmd window... it's all very code page 850, I think) wasn't exactly UTF-8. What I fail to understand is what makes monotone believe it's running in a UTF-8 locale on Windows, is that some kind of default? Incidently, the mtn that I used is this one: http://www.monotone.ca/downloads/0.99.1/monotone-0.99.1-setup.exe Is there something I can change in the setup that I'm currently missing? Honestly, I feel quite daft asking these questions. It's just that with Windows, my brain goes to mush if I try too hard, most of the times...
