LOL, DUH! OK. Thanks.
Well join the club - I've fallen into this pit recently :-(
Am I correct in thinking that the reason is that std::cout is constructed *before* the new locale is 'globalled'?
Yes.
And so std::cerr needs imbuing too but that fstream and stringstreams constructed after the std::locale::global("en_US.UTF-8") statement will get the new locale?
Yes. See 27.4.2.3/4 of C++03. HTH, Gevorg
