I installed the TNT controls this weekend and tested with IBO4.3Aa
and FB1.5.
I created a table with varchar fields of Unicode_FSS charset. I
managed to read and write unicode text data with the database;
editing traditional chinese and simplified chinese at the same time
in one TntEdit control! I used the
IB_Query.FieldByName('AField').asWideString to retrieve and save the
Text property of TntEdit.

However, when I tried to print the data with FastReport 2.5, the text
data became garbage. I have yet to find an Unicode reporting tool.
Any suggestion?
