Can't specify encoding to ConsoleAppender

Hi,

Although ConsoleAppender extends the WriterAppender, it does not follow
the rule of character encoding.  Given the source code of
ConsoleAppender:

    if(target.equals(SYSTEM_OUT)) {
      setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
    } else {
      setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.err));
    }

If I want to output characters other than the system default character
set, the ConsoleAppender outputs "?".  Is it better modify the code as
below?

    if(target.equals(SYSTEM_OUT)) {
      setWriter(createWriter(System.out));
    } else {
      setWriter(createWriter(System.err));
    }

Michael,

Yes, absolutely. One would need to modify the activateOptions mehtod as you 
have indicated. I would appreciate if you could file a bug report 
reproducing the contents of your message.
