Yet another myth.... But if you are such a UTF-16 (actually UCS-2 as that is what MSEgui supports) fan, why isn't MSEgui source code stored in UTF-16 encoding either? ;-) There is good reason why UTF-8 is so popular. And by the way, a UTF-8 codepoint is only 1-4 bytes in size. Anyway, this message thread is not about a UTF-16 vs UTF-8 pissing match, it is about FPC boasting good all-round Unicode support in the most efficient manner on all supported platforms. -- 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
