Hi,

I did some work to improve the unicode support under the windows
interface. Here is a screenshot with some controls I tested.

I don't use all LCL features in my programs, so I would like to ask
others to test the Unicode Support and report on Mantis what isn't
working with small test programs.

You can compile LCL with unicode using this instructions:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LCL_Unicode_Support#Compiling_LCL-Win32_with_Unicode

The encoding supported is UTF-8

Use an external editor (Notepad++ for example) to edit the source
files (this includes the .lfm files too) to add UTF-8 strings. The
Lazarus Windows IDE isn't capable of writing UTF-8 strings at the
moment.

Also make sure your source files don't have a UTF-8 BOM Marker. You
can check this by looking the file with the lazarus source editor. If
on the beginning of the file you see 3 strange characters, remove
them. This is because of a FPC limitation (lacks the feature of
setting the output of the widestring manager).

thanks,
