I'm using TDbf for special purposes (I have to ! for at least another
1 yr), but went into weird problem.Problem is with ftString field.
Under linux everything is fine, but under win32 all ftString fields
are cutted to 20 chars.
fpc-2.4.1, lazarus r 23416.
Anyone have such problem ?

Why UTF-8 issue ? I'm passing non UTF-8 string to dbf, and converting
to UTF-8 while retrieving it.
Under linux everything is fine, just windows makes problem.

If you can reproduce this in litle project (with the dbf file), Maybe
I can help you, I have a system (in production) that export-import
data from Dbf<->Firebird and work fine.

Upload the project (without the lrs) - 4 kb compressed.

I've fixed it by using ftWideString instead of ftString, now it works
ok. Tnx for help.
