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:
- Click the icon in the upper left corner of the command prompt window
- Select Properties, then click the Font tab
- The default font is Raster fonts; change this to Lucida Console and click
OK
