encoding

The set encoding command selects a character encoding. Valid values are default, which tells a terminal to use its default; iso_8859_1 (known in the PostScript world as ISO-Latin1), which is used on many Unix workstations and with MS-Windows; cp850, for OS/2; and cp437, for MS-DOS.

Syntax:

      set encoding {<value>}
      show encoding

Note that encoding is not supported by all terminal drivers and that the device must be able to produce the desired non-standard characters.
