Problem: On Windows systems, corrupted Latin-1 national characters appear in command prompt window

In a command prompt window on the Windows operating system, some national characters of the Latin-1 family might appear corrupted. For example, the letter "a" with a tilde may display as a pi symbol. To fix this, you must change the font properties of the command prompt window. To change the font, do the following:
  1. Click the icon in the upper left corner of the command prompt window
  2. Select Properties, then click the Font tab
  3. The default font is Raster fonts; change this to Lucida Console and click OK
