Compiler support for a unicode string is not enough for the LCL. As long as base classes like TStrings uses ansistrings, the LCL must use a string type, that does no conversion. For example: Items[i]:=Caption; As long as Items[i] is treated as ansi, any automatic conversion can loose unicode characters. So the roadmap from LCL pov is: - compiler support for some unicode string on every platform: done in fpc 2.3, thanks to Florian - a RTL using unicode strings - changing the string types in the lazarus code - a fpc release with the unicode RTL Mattias _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
