Using "External Tools" outputting Unicode

[Anton]

Hello all,

I want to use TextPad to process Groff documents. I have created an "External tool" executing the following command line:

Code: Select all

groff -me -mru -Kutf-8 -Tutf8 $FileName

and checked "Capture output".

It works OK with English, but every Russian letter turns into two wrong characters, which is incorrect, because the same command yields a valid unicode file when executed from the command prompt (with output redirected into a file).

I have selected UTF-8 as default encoding for the Tool Ouput buffer, but when I look at its properties (with the right mouse button) it says:

Code: Select all

Code Set: DOS

although it was UTF-8 before the execution of the "External Tool".
Can you please help me?

Anton
