@Rainer Deyke:
Thanks for your clarification.
The problem is that, unless you set up your system to use Chinese for
every non-unicode-ready application, systemwide and for all users, you
will not get Chinese character output in the Windows console.
The downside is that setting up your OS in such a way tends to render
the user interface of a lot of other applications unusable if Chinese
isn't your everyday language.
For a lot of us this isn't very practicable, eg. having my German
umlauts replaced with Chinese glyphs isn't exactly what I have dreamed
of all my life.
That's what I meant with the changes not being trivial, and your
response sounded a bit like I was talking nonsense and getting it to
work was a piece of cake, and I naturally was curious whether there was
a simple solution. While being a bit disappointing, thanks for
straightening out that this isn't the case.
Nonetheless there apparently is a bug here if D/Phobos with its supposed
unicode support isn't capable of producing output which is possible with
Python or even olde C++.
