(Sorry for replying yet another answer to the same message of yours)
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Better_Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus says:
On the other hand a *String* is assumed at compile time to have
/DefaultSystemCodePage/ (CP_ACP). /DefaultSystemCodePage/ is defined at run
time, so the compiler conservatively assumes that /String/ and /UTF8String/
have different encodings.
So I was wrong assuming from your message that DefaultSystemcodepage is the
default encoding for the type "String" (and with that for TStrings and with
that for TSringList).
Now I still don't know whether/how the default encoding for the type "String
(which I still assume is defined when building the compiler)
Your assumption is wrong.
The default encoding for the string type is determined at run-time, not at compile time.
Michael.
