Fonts don't handle character sets, they handle glyths, which are
letter images. The same latter A image is used regardless of the
character set (also known as text encoding) or the language.
Plus, Lazarus also doesn't use multiple character sets, it uses only
only text encoding: UTF-8.
With that in mind, you should just use the default system font and
encode your strings in UTF-8. I've never seen a system where the
default font doesn't support the latin latters + the simple accents
from western european languages. Excluding ancient systems which
Lazarus doesn't support anyway such as MS-DOS.
In Windows XP the default font supports all major languages, even
japanese, chinese, etc. For Mac OS X the same.
