Hi friends, excuse mi poor english, how to right align a string with
printf when extended chars are used?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("%10s\n", "mono");
printf("%10s\n", "moño");

return 0;
}

out:
Mono
Moño

i see something about LC_CTYPE here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/printf.html

does this help ?

thanks Luuk!!, works perfect:

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");

wprintf(L"%10ls\n", L"mono");
wprintf(L"%10ls\n", L"moño");

out:
mono
moño
