[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58637] Fullwidth CJK characters are displayed twice in command window (on Windows)

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #58637 (project octave):

@Torsten: That looks like the file was parsed as ISO 8859-1 (or a similar
encoding like CP-1251 or others). What do you get for `__mfile_encoding__`? If
it is "system", what does `__locale_charset__` return?
That file is encoded in UTF-8. You might need to change the
`__mfile_encoding__` and reparse the file:

__mfile_encoding__
__locale_charset__
__mfile_encoding__ utf-8
clear faa

Might also be a difference between Windows 10 and Windows 7. I believe Unicode
support at the command prompt was still incomplete in Windows 7.

Does Windows 7 have a "Legacy Console" setting? In Windows 10 that setting can
be changed in the properties of the command prompt (cmd.exe). The "Options"
tab has a "Use legacy console" checkbox which is unset for me. (I translated
those settings from German. So their actual name might be different.)
IIRC that setting also effects how the Octave command window behaves in
Windows.
