Garbage output - Non-Unicode program on Windows

Hello,

 

I am using subversion 1.2.0 on Windows XP.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ver

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

 

Here is the output of the command 'svn'

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>C:\svn-win32-1.2.0\bin\svn

?\232?\175?\183?\228?\189?\191?\231?\148?\168?\226?\128?\156svn
help?\226?\128?\

157?\228?\187?\165?\229?\190?\151?\229?\136?\176?\231?\148?\168?\230?\179?\1
49?\

229?\146?\140?\229?\184?\174?\229?\138?\169?\227?\128?\130

 

I discovered that it has to do with the setting of "Language for non-Unicode
programs" that is set to Chinese on my PC. 

Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Advanced->Language for
non-Unicode programs

 

The program still seems to work. It does updates, status checks and so on. I
just cannot read information messages.

 

Can the program be made Unicode to fix its output?

 

Thanks,

 

Ronaldo
