Displaying Chinese and Japanese characters on Swing components.

[vaskarbasak]

Hi,

I'm having problems displaying Chinese and Japanese characters on Swing components. I know some conversion should be done. Do you have some source code sample or any idea ?

Thanks!

Most likely your selected font can't display the glyphs of any CJK character.
Try to set the font to "Arial MS Unicode" if you're running on an MS Windows
computer. There is no need to convert the String itself.

It is not working...

It is not working...

Can you show us a bit of relevant code? Just a few lines please.

"it is not working" is too vague to answer. Can you select the font I mentioned?
Can you read your Chinese/Japanese data correctly?

kind regards,

Jos

here i paste my code.


public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
if (isSelected) {
setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
} else {
setForeground(table.getForeground());
setBackground(table.getBackground());
}
// setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 12));
//setFont(new Font("MS Gothic", Font.BOLD, 12));
if (hasFocus) {
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("Table.focusCellHigh lightBorder"));
if (table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Table.focusCellF oreground"));
setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Table.focusCellB ackground"));
}
} else {
setBorder(new EmptyBorder(1, 2, 1, 2));
}
setFont(new Font("Arial MS Unicode", Font.BOLD, 12));
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
return this;
}


Yes read Chinese/Japanese data correctly.

Thanks!

We have to disect this nasty little problem step by step then; does your value.toString()
return the correct String? Does an Arial MS Unicode font exist on your computer?
What is the range of characters it can render? (see the Font class API docs).

You're welcome of course; what was the problem actually? Maybe other readers
are interested in your problem and solution.

I had the same problem. Using Font Helvetica in place of Arial solved the problem
