Thanks Jonas and Paul.
Please permit a little comment. All what was missing for good multi language 
Unicode support in FPC after Florian and Peter implemented widestrings (which 
were reference counted on all platforms at the beginning!) are Unicode 
resource strings. Now, many years later, we still don't have Unicode resource 
strings but we have codepage aware 8-bit strings? I don't understand the 
priorities.
