Will it be fix by maybe adding an option to force using utf-8? I have same problem and I'm a traditional chinese user.

Thanks for replying! I've tried your solution and it works, but here comes another problem. In "Minecraft log" tab, the launcher tries to display logs in the system character encoding....

I just do a fork and make a little change ( simply replace "codecForLocale()" with "codecForName("UTF-8")" ) Then it WORKS!   Now both of the tabs are using utf-8...

Does this issue still alive?
