Remarks

  • Only the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) code page installed with Windows XP appears correctly in a command prompt window that uses Raster fonts. Other code pages appear correctly in full-screen mode or command prompt windows that use TrueType fonts.

  • You do not need to prepare code pages, as in MS-DOS.

  • Programs that you start after you assign a new code page use the new code page, however, programs (except Cmd.exe) that you started before assigning the new code page use the original code page.

Examples

To change the active code page to 850 (Multilingual), type:
