Does pspp output support unicode - or at least non-ascii characters

[Christine Christmann]

Hi,
I've  downloaded and installed the latest snapshot (psppire 0.7.2) on windows. I was more than delighted to find out that this test-version supports special characters in the data and syntax window that are beyond the 128 signs of ascii-code (like the special german characters 'äüöß'). This is really great! And was a problem already discussed in 2007 (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2007-10/msg00001.html) and now - in my opinion - seems to be solved with the next version. Unfortunately the PSPPIRE OUTPUT doesn't support non-ascii signs. Instead of these characters a hash key ('#') appears. Is or will there be a way to display non-ascii-characters in the output window? A special command in the syntax for example. Or is the only way to achieve this by changing a special modul the source-code?

Thanks a lot in advance Christine

If you're willing to compile and install the "output" branch from the Git repository,
then this problem has been fixed there.

However, that version is still under development and there may be some features which
don't yet work properly.
