All "access a char by index into a string" code I have seen, 99.99% of the time work in a sequential manner. For that reason there is no speed difference between using a UTF-16 or UTF-8 encoded string. Both can be coded equally efficient. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
