[icu-support] Windows codepage 720

[Andreas M. <ama...@uk...>]

I have been trying to trace a problem in our BiDi support and have 
discovered that we're hitting trouble trying to get a codepage for 
windows-720... We ask windows for it's codepage using GetConsoleOutputCP() 
and then ask the ICU to find us a converter for it (we try to prepend "cp" 
to it first).  The ICU tells us that no such codepage exists.

1. Should windows XP be telling us something else (like 1256)?
2. Should we not be using GetConsoleOutputCP()?

if we do a chcp 1256 beforehand it works, but we'd prefer not to have to 
tell our customers that their environment is wrong :-(

cheers,
Andreas
