Hi,

I have a problem with LazReport. It doesn't print Polish chars - for
example 'ŁĄŚ'

I think I tried everything to solve my problem.

I created database in FlameRobin, set charset to:
1. UTF8
2. ISO8859_2
3. WIN1250
then I created table osoby (id int, nazwa varchar(50)) and a small
application for testing.

I'm using TIbConnection to connect with Firebird database.
I set TIbConnection.chaset to all of those three (UTF8,
ISO8859_2,WIN1250) and for those 3 encodings I tried to insert data:
insert into osoby values (1,'ŁĄŚ');
I wasn't able (due to error) to insert that. Only in WIN1250 it was
succesful.
After 'select * from osoby' I have:
1 | ŁĄŚ
but when I click preview button of LazReport I got garbage (diffrent
for UTF8, ISO8859_2,WIN1250).

What do I have to do to make it work?

Is there some property to change in LazReport or maybe I do something
wrong?

What version of Lazarus, free pascal and operating system are you
using?

I'm using latest lazarus relese 0.9.24, fpc 2.2.0 on Windows XP

[SOLVED]

Hi, I find out what was wrong. As default LazReport is using font
without Central European encoding. So when I changed font it started
to show text properly.

But I can't write any of this chars in LazReport memo.

I think that I have to change default LazRepot font. I'll work on it!

Thanks!
