Keep in mind that it is impossible to reliably get the codepage of a text,
unless the text begins with a BOM. GuessEncoding simply checks if the string
validates some UTF-8 rules. If it is valid it returns UTF-8 otherwise the system
code page.

It seems you are calling the windows API function ExtTextOut directly instead of
the x-platform LCL one. The LCL one expects UTF-8, so you don't need the
conversion.
