I want to display all cyrillic properly. I am a Bulgarian user - so I have a preference for Windows-CP1251 encoding. I did the usual meta magic in ~/.inputrc, and now I can input cyrillic letters properly in both bash(in command window) and rxvt (non X window version) So if I do cat myfile it is displayed correctly. However when I pipe it to less cat myfile | less it gets broken I get things like: Same thing is when I do less myfile Furthermore I can touch a file with cyrillic filename touch рсту.txt but when I do ls * it is displayed like ????.txt When I do tab completion under bash , the filename gets displayed correctly. My filesystem is NTFS. In my installation of cygwin nothing sets the LANG and LC environment variables. What should I do? I Searched the Internet, FAQs and docs but I get the imression that this question is still unanswered. I use the Lucida Console TrueType font. Best regards: al_shopov
