           Summary: std.stdio assumes console works in utf-8
           Product: D
           Version: 2.025
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW

          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: maxmo at pochta.ru


This is wrong on Windows. One *can* set console codepage to utf8 and font to
Lucida Console, though this is unusual configuration and console programs can't
work out of the box. This leaves std.stdio useless. As far as I know, this
applies also to Phobos1. If this is not going to be fixed, it should be
documented.
