Is there anything else missing?
I suspect the manual and FAQ need a few tweaks.
There's the faq entry "My application prints international characters
but I only see gray boxes".  The entry about the console is still
valid, even after changing to mintty on the desktop.  Do you think
it makes sense to add words about mintty here?  If so, I guess the
problem more often occurs with Win32 apps running in a UTF-8 mintty.
Do you have a suggestion for an addition related to mintty?
This problem could at least be partially solved as has been discussed in http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2010-06/msg00033.html:
test case:


touch bÃh
cmd /c dir
chcp 65001 (or cmd /c chcp 65001) <- the corresponding API call could be issued by mintty, or cygwin1.dll
cmd /c dir
