OK, putting this all together, we seem to have a solution:
1. Trigger the unicode support for all pipe etc (default is
cp1252 sometimes known as "ansi") with the command:
cmd /u
2. Set the font of the console to one that has glyphs in the
unicode range:
- go to console system menu (Alt-Space)
- select Properties > Font
- select "Lucida Sans" (MS will automatically select
"Lucida Sans Unicode" when it is needed and when it is
available on your system)
3. Change the codepage of the console screen to use Unicode
(default is IBM 437) with the command:
chcp 65001
4. Call your commands *without* using a batch file (won't
work anymore...). You can put your command in an environment
variable for convenience.
5. Set the Java system property -Dfile.encoding=utf8 on the command line for
example
chcp 65001
java -Dfile.encoding=utf8 net.sf.saxon.Transform in.xml my.xsl
The Saxon patch I've issued in
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1705811&group_id=2
9872&atid=397617
isn't then needed: this only has the effect of giving better fallback
behaviour when the output destination doesn't support Unicode.
Thanks Abel and Andrew. You learn new things every day.
I'll copy this to the Saxon Wiki.
