Why make it? I haven't checked recently, but the system TFontDialog on a mac does not an OK/cancel button, making the system dialog useless, so a standard alternative might be helpful. I reported this a while back (https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13383) but it was closed as expected behavior, which I am not sure is right. Checking further, is the font dialog working at all under carbon? Checking a couple of different versions of my program and lazarus simply gives an access violation when it is invoked.

The replies so far are not surprising at all. LCL prides itself staying with "native components". Granted I find that has many drawbacks, but that was LCL's design choice from the start, and will not change. I battled the same arguments/suggestions years back. ;-) If you want the full benefits of 100% customisability, better go with the custom drawn toolkits out there. fpGUI and MSEgui are 100% custom drawn and fully written in Object Pascal - no limitations with what can be done.

So no code will be pulled into the user app, if it is not used. While certainly useful, it is not necessarily something that needs to be included by default. With the online package manager, I would think that an installable package might be useful.

Re: [Lazarus] Universal FontDialog for LCL
Default must be native OS dialog. I suggest to use my dialog when boolean option in LCL (will be added) true. Here's my GH repo with dialog which almost 100% mimics GTK2 FontDialog. https://github.com/alexey-t/atfontdialog It even increases preview height for big sizes >20.

Why make it? - we can make all best features of FontDlgs from all WSes - we can make additional events- e,g, OnSelectFont (called when used selects name in listbox) - we can make it resizable (and save/load size) - same look on all WS If it's good- ok to merge to Laz?

Have you tried compiling with {$mode delphi} instead of {$mode objfpc}?
The wrapper did not contain any '{$mode objfpc}' or '{$mode delphi}'
instruction. I inserted '{$mode delphi}', and the wrapper could be
compiled. Thanx, Mattias.
