It will not happen again, sir. I am a stain upon this mailing list.

My question was not about UTF-8 support in Lazarus. I know it works.
My question was about interoperability with Windows. Theoretically
there are some serious issues; I figured I would get a better response
asking someone using UTF-8 with Windows compared to a general poll.

Remorsefully,

You are right. The version (2.18)  is not the most recent. But to the best of 
my knowledge, it is sufficient to build the gtk2 based lcl and gtk2-based 
lazarus. So, maybe it is also sufficient for your purpose. Do you really need 
2.24? Actually, the maintainers of gtk2 are working on updates, but they 
haven't completely finished it and the updated descriptions are in their 
experimental branches only. What is the oldest version of macOS you want to 
support? The easiest requirement is 64bit and 10.9 and newer, but if need be 
stepping back to i386 and 10.7 would also be possible. 

Regarding fink packages, I meant that if the source code of your program is 
available, I could have a go at a package description.

Michael.

You took it offtopic anyway.
UTF-8 works just fine. Please read this page :

and start a new thread if you did not understand something.
