If the characters in the file encoding cannot be preserved in the current encoding for 'ansistring', then what ?
Is there even something like "current encoding for 'ansistring'" in FPC 3.0? AFAIK FPC 3.0 AnsiString can handle all encodings and convert between them internally. By default TEncoding output could be set to AnsiString(CP_UTF8). Conversion to other codepages of AnsiString is done by the compiler.
I see now that FPC's TEncoding uses UnicodeString and PUnicodeChar. For me it's a strange decision. I would expect it to be String ( http://wiki.freepascal.org/Character_and_string_types#String ) and use UTF8 since AnsiString(CP_UTF8) is compatible to String.
