I added this to my form OnCreate (I don't know how to type it): Label1.Caption := '印刷'; With the Osaka font and it displays correctly. With the Lucida Grande font it indeed does not display correctly so I can only assume that this font does not support those characters. > I presume the native controls like TEdit in Carbon uses the system font, but > how come there's this difference when using the same font name?

Lazarus controls like TLabel do not do this. If you set it to use a font they will always use it. > I'm using Lazarus v0.9.27, FPC 2.2.2, rev 16907, on i386-darwin-carbon, but > do I need to rebuild Lazarus with some option to support UTF8.

Yes, it's a font issue. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
