[PD] 048-test5 > w32 strange chars

[Dan Wilcox]

In looking in the pd-gui.tcl, we do check for the LANG environment variable on Windows. You could make a batch script wrapper to launch pd. Maybe something like:

SET LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
start "pd.exe"

Put the in a file in the bin folder with pd.exe and name it something like "PdStart.bat" or whatever. Then double click that instead of the pd.exe. It should override the system locale settings this way without having to remove or rename the po folder.

Let me know if that works and I can add the info to the po/README.txt.
