(Windows codepages) Ok, then I misunderstood. :) About the string constant concatenation, just use variables when it is proper: const V1: string = 'a'; var S1: String; ... later in code ... S1 := V1 + 'b'; String literals can be assigned without problems as long as your variables are "String". The big table in the wiki page is intimidating, in reality the issue is not so complex.

You made a couple of mistakes and highlighted a bug in the PDF exporter.
Mistakes:
1. You never registered the standard page sizes with:
PaperManager.RegisterStandardSizes;
2. Your report used LiberationSans font. Make sure you added
the search paths to the font cache. eg:
{$IFDEF UNIX}
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add(GetUserDir + '.fonts/');
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add('/data/devel/Wisa/fonts/Liberation/');
{$ENDIF}
3. You positioned a lot of reporting elements overlapping each
other. Correct positioning will help you see things better. ;-)
Bug:
The PDF exporter didn't handle Page.Orientation of Landscape
correctly, and rendered such pages from the bottom upwards.
I supplied a patch to FPC's Mantis so hopefully Michael or
somebody could commit that soon.
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32478
After all that, the report renders just fine.
ps:
Note that I compiled your project using the latest fpReport from
FPC Trunk. I simply set the correct Unit Source Path in the project.
You don't need to use FPC Trunk compiler - I used FPC 2.6.4.
Regards,
Graeme

Re: [Lazarus] fpReport - can not render pagefooter
THX Graeme
In windows this is possible and running: -> I have my sample extended
procedure TForm1.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
begin
if not FInit then begin
gTTFontCache.ReadStandardFonts;
gTTFontCache.BuildFontCache;
if PaperManager.PaperCount=0 then
PaperManager.RegisterStandardSizes;
FInit:= true;
end;
end;
The problem with fontcache, is not (maybe direct) visible in the demo on
FPReport Usage.
BTW: point 3 -> the code is copied direct from the 'designer' :-) not
made on my own - lol.
Bugreport for the designer problem with orientation is 32470, i will
check this and close if running.

I'm already doing that. This not perfect, but is better than have problems. Thanks.
