Hi,

Thanks for this wonderful product that is Lazarus.
I have a problem which I can't overcome.
I created an app with Edit fields. I compiled it (kubuntu in
iso-8859-1).
But when someone tries to enter special characters (non Iso-8859-1
letters like greek for instance), the only thing I  get is a question
mark...
Since the app. deals with foreign languages, I wanted to know if the
problem was compiling with my locale, if there was something I could
do to permit special characters in edit fields ot if this was simple
not possible.
I compiled under windows and the same problem occurs.
Thanks for any advice...

Take a look at TEdit.Fonts.CharSet. You need to set it to
GREEK_CHARSET for greek texts etc...

Or to UNICODE to support them all (just now found out about this
feature)
