Anyone could help me to display latin/spanish characters in a STDCPP application?

When I use the Print command:
Print "Mindcast (R) Utilidad de conversión de archivos PNG a SPR versión 0.1"

I get this in the console:
"Mindcast (R) Utilidad de conversi¾n de archivos PNG a SPR versi¾n 0.1"

Thanks in advance!

I don't know how to fix it but it looks like a weird encoding issue. maybe taking a look to the print command implementation in cpp can add some light?

I think Monkey STDCPP uses ASCII internally, and there is no ascii->UTF8 conversion done for the Print() function.
Monkey however will convert UTF-8 to ascii bytes in it's LoadString().

In the standard monkey lang for STDCPP, there's a little converter that seems to work, so copy this code into the Print() function:
in Monkey/modules/monkey/native/lang.cpp

int Print( String t ){

	std::vector<char> buf;
	const Char *p = t.Data();
	int n=t.Length();
	int i=0;
	
	while ( i<n) {

		Char c = *p;
		if( c<0x80){
			buf.push_back( c );
		}else if( c<0x800 ){
			buf.push_back( 0xc0 | (c>>6) );
			buf.push_back( 0x80 | (c & 0x3f) );
		}else {
			buf.push_back( 0xe0 | (c>>12) );
			buf.push_back( 0x80 | ((c>>6) & 0x3f) );
			buf.push_back( 0x80 | (c & 0x3f) );
		}
		p++;
		i++;
	}
	buf.push_back(0);
	
	puts( &buf[0] );
	fflush( stdout );
	return 0;
}

Plus, I think the compiler would also need to be aware of unicode to inform the console appropriately to use it (Ted and Monk do this automatically).
