Re: Cygwin 1.7: Empty/white-space output when display Chinese characters in GBK charset encoding?


Thank you Andy, you are right.

I tried the following, they all shown something instead of
empty/white-spaces
1. added 'chcp 850' in cygwin.bat file (before bash log, 
2. put gwin window into full-screen mode(Alt+Enter)
3. changed the font of Cygwin window to 'New SimSun'
