Strange signs into avast Portuguese version (Brazilian)

[Lisandro]

Igor. Waiting for you.

[igor]

Everything is as it should be... sorry, but I have no explanation for this.

[Lisandro]

It can't be that way... did you try to install English + Portuguese to reproduce the error?
I'm on Windows 7 Pro Portuguese.
It's strange... I see the errors all the time... What should I do?

[Lisandro]

Igor, did you give up?

[igor]

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas... doesn't make any sense.
Did you have avast! installed on that machine before? I'm quite sure nothing has changed about the locale settings problem (and especially not in two completely independent projects like ashCmd and the screensaver). Didn't you change anything regarding the fonts on that system? (install new ones, ...)

Long story: I've used System Restore. So my installation got corrupt... can't believe (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=55067.msg482904#msg482904).
So I've uninstalled avast, boot, use the clean tool, boot, install AIS (English + Portuguese. Never installed other languages besides English and Portuguese.
), boot.
Everything is as before... messed...

When English is the language into avast GUI:
ScreenSaver: the slash "\" is changed by W.
Command-line scanner: the menus are corrected, the results are corrected.

When Portuguese is the language into avast GUI:
ScreenSaver: the slash "\" is changed by W. The accented characters aren't being shown.
Command-line scanner: the menus and the results are corrupted: accented characters aren't correctly displayed.

It's not me... In the official partner for download the Portuguese version, there is a phrase saying that "not all the characters are correctly shown".

Well... Of course... Can't I install a font without messing avast? 
I did not change any *default* system font. Just install new ones.

What I had on mind... is that installation of some fonts might have corrupted the associations / substitutions somehow... I don't believe this is the normal situation.

I am unable to reproduce the behavior (and even if I were, I wouldn't know what to do about it...).

Which fonts? Which associations/substitutions?
I haven't *installed* fonts, myself. I know that MS Office, for instance, installs some fonts.
Which are the avast default fonts?

I'm not that familiar with how the fonts work... I believe there are some substitutions set - if a program wants to create a font with a particular name and that font is not present on the system, a specific substitute is used instead.

However, I rather had some non-standard fonts on mind... I don't think MS Office would create any problems (appart from filling your font-selection combos with a lot of crap ).

Which are the avast default fonts?

None... and that's why it doesn't make any sense.
The screensaver uses "System" font... and ashCmd doesn't use any font at all, it just "prints" into the console. So, I can't see how ashCmd can behave differently than e.g. the "dir" command you run from cmd.exe.

You've got it...
Something is weird. Windows displays the characters ok. DOS doesn't.
Can you guess what's wrong?

[Lisandro]

Everything seems to be in Portuguese...
