AFAIK: yes.
All chinese characters are in some fonts double wide characters.

What means 'text attributes to every single character'?
How much memory is needed for a 10mb text?

The anchor docking lacks d&d because my plan is: first finish the restore layout
and get manual things stable. Then implement d&d. But at the moment I have other
priorities than docking.
If the d&d properties/methods are not sufficient in the LCL then they can be
extended.
