Hello, You changed the subject of the thread and now gmail shows your last message as the first one in a new thread, so I don't know what you are talking about exactly. Ok, now I remembered it is about the special font issue, but please don't change the subject field.

Do you know that the definition of ansi changes from computer to computer resulting in a different end result if you do the conversion in a russian, chinese, or european computer? Your code simply won't work everywhere in the world. Maybe, by coincidence, the ISO Latin 1 to UTF-8 conversion could be used. You could try that. There is a conversion function ISO85591ToUTF8 or something similar located in lconvencoding.pas in the LCL. In general, take a look in the Unicode characters table: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/0000-0FFF I am not 100% sure if the 80 to FF characters correspond to Latin 1. If you are converting from Latin 1 to UTF-8 then the conversion will only work if they do correspond. > SHould the lcl utf8 conversions work on an ansistring, or will I need > to write my own routine? Try converting from Latin 1 to UTF-8 and if it doesn't work write your own routine. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
