If you write a program in Lazarus which uses the LCL (which in turn uses LazUtils) then this is done for you by the LazUtils package at initialization of the fpcadds unit. (Mind you, it does NOT do this when you define disableUtf8RTL in projectoptions or on commandline.) And it needs to be done only once. > Then why does it say: > "Since FPC 2.7.1 the default system codepage of the RTL can be changed to > UTF-8 > (CP_UTF8)" > It should say: > "Since FPC 2.7.1 the default system codepage of the RTL *is* UTF-8 (CP_UTF8)" Why in the world would you think so? Unless you actively alter DefaultSystemCodePage in code in your program (as LazUtils does, see above), the value of this is determined at program start and is dependant on you current system locale (cp1252 on West-European Windows, UTF8 on most Linux).
