[Lazarus] TMemo question

[tim launchbury]

Hello all

I need to display information in a TMemo, using a custom ttf font.
However, the characters I need to display are from 0x20 to 0xff, but it
appears that TMemo will only display characters up to 0x7F ( or
thereabouts ). Are there any properties I can set to make the extended
characters display correctly, or should I use a different widget, and if
so which one?

The font I am using is a specialised one for railway applications.

I am using lazarus revision 28797 from svn for i386 in Mandriva linux
2010.1 with gtk2.
