Not surprising given that CP437 doesn't support CP866 encoding.  The only encoding that properly supports differing languages is utf8.  CP437 falls short of supporting anything other than the so-call higher ascii, which of course is bogus.  All ascii are 7-bit characters and is well supported by most encodings in the range of 0x00 to 0x7f.  Anything above that isn't ascii, higher or otherwise.

Het leven is goed,
