Ascii char set

[spliffmaster]

Hi, when I output the ascii chars 178 tp 218 in my console using this:

for(int i = 179; i < 218; ++i )
{
        std::cout<< i <<" "<< static_cast<char>(i) <<std::endl;
}

my outcome looks like this: http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9341/31098959.png

However I think it is supposed to look like this: http://www.adrianxw.dk/SoftwareSite/Consoles/CharMap2.gif

Why could this be and is there a way to make my console print the chars as in the second pic?


Any help is appreciated.

You need to set the "code page".

Alas.

Have fun!

Thanks for your help. But I'm not sure about this. I've printed the Ascii chars using the above code with about 20 different codepages and didn't notice any difference.

//edit: Ok, I found out that the codepage does not affect how extended Ascii chars are displayed when a raster font is used.

Oh yeah... heh... you need to be using the Lucida Console font...
