This is exactly what I asked but got no answer I could understand.

I understand that by an RTL variable I can set the code page new strings 
are constructed to use.

I understand that TStringList.LoadFromFile will work as expected (if the 
file to be loaded comes in the same encoding).

But this is FPC. Will Lazarus be able to cope with that ? Obviously the 
GUI interface in the LCL still will need to provide the correct encoding 
(supposedly UTF-8 with Linux and UTF16 with Windows) towards the 
external GUI infrastructure.
