*yes for me on Windows it works also (under Lazarus 2.0.8 with FPC 3.0.4)

*I add CC also to Lazarusdev group
(attached simple project)

*I do not build Lazarus with -dDisableUTF8RTL (I simply use default 
installation)*

*As Sven wrote there is at least "c4" case, where declared code page 
(AnsiString(1250)) is different from AnsiString (CP_ACP) codepage and 
also from dynamic code page (DefaultSystemCodepage which is under 
Lazarus (UTF8=65001))*

*I am still confused how this CodePage aware stuff is expected to work 
and when implicit conversios are included (as far as I understand here 
ONLY declared/static codepage plays role) and when dynamic codepage is 
taken into account and when not?*

*L.*
