Hi, For the display (Synedit) issue another workaround exists, if you are willing to patch your Lazarus yourself.
The full issue is known under http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=11819 While it will be unfortunately sometime until I get to do a proper fix for this, a patch is attached to the bug, which allows to view chinese chars. It seems stable, and worked for the examples I had. If you find more double-wide ranges you can add them easily. The reason it has not been added to Lazarus as it stands is that the code is a very simple hack. Which would make the maintenance of Lazarus harder for everyone else. It also has one side effect/bug. The cursor steps in single wide chars. So the cursor can be positioned in the middle of a chinese char, and then may act either as if it was before, or it was after the char.
