I have tried a bunch of similar program calls and posted them last night
as answer to Adrian. --encoding=UTF-8 sets the default database
encoding, but this leaves the "Postmaster" itself at 1252. This is
indicated by initdb's output, and your proposal gives exactly the setup
that the installer does by default and which causes mixed logfile encodings.
As all my tests show, the "Postmaster" is bound to a valid Locale, and
Unicode encodings are never part of valid Locales in Windows, so a
Windows "Postmaster" will never write UTF-8 output.
Please note that the example in the block uses english language, so the
author probably will not have noticed 1252 encodings. The english
messages also don't have fancy (if not silly) quotation marks like the
german ones.
Thanks,
