I don't think its expected that log file be able to show non ascii,
since main use I think is for diagnostic use.

But in any case, if writing of the file could use encoding of the project, or global ide
view of encoding, it could help if users need to view it.

Confirming what kfrank said, messages.log isn't designed to show non-ascii. However changing to enhancement for tracking.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Tulach 2008-04-02 14:57:41 UTC

Why are you reassigning to logger component? logger has nothing to do with messages.log files.

Comment 5 David Simonek 2008-04-02 16:07:50 UTC

Because I thought logger is right component, at least name suggests that. If you know what is right component, why did
you reassigned back to me?
