The new function init_console() is now run at the beginning of the game, initializing which code page the console uses, and it should work cross-platform. The main thing this fixes is, now users of non-U.S. English versions of Windows will have the correct extended characters displayed as long as they are using a TrueType font like Lucida Console for their console display, rather than using raster fonts (all of which are variants of Terminal). If users of non-U.S. English versions of Windows wish to have the correct extended characters also be displayed even when using raster fonts in a console window, this can only be done by changing a setting in Control Panel. Specifically, under International and Language Settings, you change the Default Language for Non-Unicode Applications to be U.S. English, Code Page 437, the standard code page that IBM developed for DOS versions in the United States, which also happens to be the code page that Liberal Crime Squad uses. For international users of Windows who do not want to mess with Control Panel settings, simply set the font for your console window of Liberal Crime Squad to Lucida Console (any size works) and you'll be good to go. As for users of other operating systems such as Linux and Mac OS X, more testing and feedback is needed on whether the proper characters are displayed on the screen.
