3. PGChar is defined as ^char, but string in PGchar is encoded using
UTF-8 and automatic conversion from (wide)string to pchar does not
use this encoding so I have to use conversion function like
function StringToGChar(str:WideString):Pgchar;
begin
Result := Pgchar(UTF8Encode(str));
end;
for every string argument to be able to use non-ascii characters in
gtk/pango. Maybe we could add overloaded assignment operator that
would handle this conversion. That would, however, break backward
compatibility with programs using non-ascii characters that handle
this conversion on their own.
This way you will break lazarus since lazarus stores utf8 encoded
strings in 'string' type.
