+ <application>psql</application> is compiled as a "console application". As
+ the win32 console windows use a different encoding than the rest of the
+ system, you must take special care when using 8-bit characaters (eg. german
+ Umlauts) at the <application>psql</application> prompt. When
+ <application>psql</application> detects a problematic console codepage, it
+ will warn you at startup. To change the console codepage, two things are
+ neccessary:
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <listitem>
+ Set the codepage with <userinput>cmd.exe /c chcp 1252</userinput>
+ (1252 is the german value, replace it with your value). If you are using
+ cygwin, you can put this command in <filename>/etc/profile</filename>.
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <listitem>
+ Set the console font to "Lucida Console", because the raster font
+ does not work with the ANSI codepage.
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
