Hi, A Russian user raised the issue in the fpGUI newsgroups... fpGUI uses UTF-8 as the internal string encoding. He noticed that the File Dialog which displays the file sizes with thousand separators were totally blank. On further investigation he noticed that it was FormatFloat() that caused the issue. FormatFloat uses the ThousandSeparator locale variable.
In FPC the ThousandSeparator is of type Char which can only hold one byte. Yet the Russian locale uses the non-breaking space character as expressed in UTF-8 as 'C2 A0' (bytes) and takes up 2 bytes. So how do we assign the Russian ThousandSeparator (U+00A0) in FPC to the ThousandSeparator variable?
