- If pseudo console is disabled, non-cygwin apps do not detect console device. In this case, some apps output UTF-8 regardless of the locale setting. At least git-for-windows, rust-based apps and node.js do that. This patch provides backward compatibility as default behaviour by setting console codepage to the charset of the locale. Even in the cases above, garbled output is prevented with this patch in most cases because mintty uses UTF-8 by default. I beleave this is not really a problem in cygwin side but that in app side, however, some users complain about garbled output with existing apps in MSYS2 (which is based on cygwin) in which pseudo console is disabled by default.
