           Summary: UTF-8 output to console is seriously broken
           Product: D
           Version: 1.020
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: a.solovey gmail.com


If windows console code page is set to 65001 (UTF-8) and program outputs
non-ascii characters in UTF-8 encoding, there will be no more output after the
first new line after accented character. I believe that problem is in
underlying DMC stdio, but it is more disturbing with D as it has good Unicode
support and it is very convenient to work international texts in it.
This problem has been reported in newsgroup several times before, see for
example
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/announce/openquran_v0.21_8492.html
Here is the code to illustrate the problem:
////////
import std.c.stdio;
import std.c.windows.windows;

extern(Windows) export BOOL SetConsoleOutputCP( UINT );

void main() {
    SetConsoleOutputCP( 65001 ); // or use "chcp 65001" instead
    // Codepoint 00e9 is "Latin small letter e with acute"
    puts( "Output utf-8 accented char \u00e9\n... and the rest is cut off!\n"
);
}
/////////
If you run it, "... and the rest is cut off!" won't be displayed. Do not forget
to set console font to Lucida Console before trying this.

The problem doesn't show if I use the Windows API (either WriteConsole or
WriteFile) to output.  So the bug must be somewhere in DM's stdio
implementation.

I hope this gets fixed one day. Here is an updated example, where it still
doesn't work (for stderr, stdout is ok) as of DMD 1.035

import std.c.stdio;
import std.c.windows.windows;

extern(Windows) export BOOL SetConsoleOutputCP( UINT );

void main() {
    SetConsoleOutputCP( 65001 ); // or use "chcp 65001" instead
    // Codepoint 00e9 is "Latin small letter e with acute"
    fputs("Output utf-8 accented char \u00e9\n... and the rest is OK\n",
stdout);
    fputs("Output utf-8 accented char \u00e9\n... and the rest is cut off!\n",
stderr);
    fputs("STDOUT.\n", stdout);
    fputs("STDERR.\n", stderr);
}
