UTF-16 was implemented first in the FPC Compiler. Others are welcome to add UTF-8 as the default for other FPC platforms like Linux. There are a lot more Unix-type platforms than the one Windows platform, so why must all the other platforms take a conversion hit. I know nothing about compiler internals, but I hope to rise to the challenge Florian set. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
