 Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 12:04 pm Post subject: java unicode: '?' instead of desired characters [SOLVED] |
 |
|
This example shows my problem:
call to method from JFrame:
| Code: | setTitle( "\u0119\u0105\u015b\u0142\u017c\u017a\u0107\u0144 \u0118\u0104\u015a\u0141\u017b\u0179\u0106\u0143" ) ;
|
sets the window title to a set of '?' (questionmarks), instead of desired unicode characters.. Does anyone know what should I do to be able to see the real characters?
Here's some info:
| Code: | ~ $ java -version
java version "1.4.2-02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
|
I use eclipse, default configuration. I have unicode in my useflags. My locale is ( "pl", "PL" ) and that i set at the beginning of the java program.
Does anyone know why my java doesn't show the characters? My idea is that it might be a font problem, but I don't know what to do with it..
Regards

| It's probably the just the font that java is using. At least that was the fault on my system. I replaced the Java fonts with some other font that had all characters I needed. As for how to change the font, I did it the dirty way, replacing the fonts in /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02/jre/lib/fonts/ with symlinks to the font I wanted, because I couldn't figure out how to do it right. |

| Thanks, I'll try playing with fonts.. Meanwhile maybe someone who knows more about fonts in java can give me a hint? |

OK, I figured it out: the title of the main window used a system font instead of a java font, and that system font didn't have characters that I wanted.
| Code: | JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated( true ) ;
|
This fixed it, because it caused the window title to use java fonts. It also changed the look of the window (like it should), but that doesn't bother me. |
