Description:
German special characters(äöüß) or characters like "©" in verion information looking bad in compiled exe. See Attachment.
Additional information:
Problem seems to be in RC File, that's stored in UTF-8 and windres can't handle that correct.
Another thing is, reading the information with unit fileinfo, shows all characters correct from Lazarus-compiled-applications, but breakes special characters form other apps (f.e. delphi-compiled).
Tested on Vista 32-bit, Laz 0.9.27 r19932, FPC 2.2.4
