> Hello.

> I have two questions about work of tlmgr GUI on Windows (tested on Windows
> 7 32-bit Ultimate)

> 1. Why GUI uses different fonts when displays different languages?

> See attached screenshot `tlmgr-gui_(ru).png': the Russian works are
> displayed using one font while Latin letters (URL in this case) are in
> other. Is it possible to use one font for both?

> If suppose that given font support native language and Latin alphabet
> could "tlmgr-gui" use only one font?

> 2. Why output from tlmgr run in cmd (terminal) on Windows is unreadable?

> When I run tlmgr in cmd (cmd.exe /V:ON /F:ON) as `tlmgr gui' I see in
> terminal (cmd) garbage instead of Russian words, see attached screenshot
> `cmd-tlmgr-gui.png'. The reason is obvious here: wrong code page (see
> screenshot `cmd-tlmgr-gui-2.png'). But if I set UTF-8 as code page for
> terminal, `chcp 65001', then result is a bit strange, see also
> screenshot `cmd-tlmgr-gui-3.png'.

> Suggestions for this two issues?

> P.S. IMHO, code page in cmd is similar to locale in (linux)
> terminal/console.

The big question is why in the course of evolution the males permitted
themselves to be so totally eclipsed by the females.  Why do they tolerate
this total subservience, this wretched existence as outcasts who are
hungry all the time?
