When using PC-BASIC with a text-based interface on Windows, please note:
-
You need to set the console font to one of the TrueType fonts, for example Lucida Console. The raster fonts will not display non-ASCII letters correctly.
-
In Python 2.7, if the Windows console codepage is set to 65001, strange errors may occur when using
pcbasic -n
or the Session API through standard I/O. For example,IOError: [Errno 0] Error
. This is a known issue with Python 2.7 and Windows. There is no fix; to work around it, change to another console codepage or use Python 3.
