Printing Filenames with non-Ascii-Characters

Hi,

Yes. I set it to Utf-8 as that's what I use for all my development.

That is relevant to the encoding of source-files, right? How does it affect
printing to standard out?

If it would I would expect UTF-8 data on my console. That would be fine, it
can encode everything and as I have written in another posting in my case
garbled data is better than termination of my program.

But it uses 'ascii', at least if I can believe the error message it gave.

Ciao, MM
