[Indic-computing-users] RE: Unicode problem

[<rag...@se...>]

Hi,

 I had a similar problem long back and I sorted it out in the way describe=
d
below=2E But I was using JDK1=2E4=2E I hope it works the same way in JDK1=2E=
2 also=2E

 Java picks up the fonts from JRE_HOME/lib/fonts directory=2E So, if the
tamil font is not present in this directory and or
JRE_HOME/lib/fonts/fonts=2Edir and JRE_HOME/lib/font=2Eproperties file doe=
sn't
have entry for the tamil font, you see square boxes instead of tamil
characters=2E=20

  The reason why you can see the Hindi characters is JRE ships with a Hind=
i
font embedded into one of the font files present in JRE_HOME/lib/fonts=2E

 I am attaching a sample font=2Eproperties file along with this message=2E=
 But
not sure whether it works with windows as the font=2Epropeties file struct=
ure
for windows and linux is different in Java=2E Dont forget to add an entry =
in
the fonts=2Edir file for the font that you copied to the JRE_HOME/lib/font=
s
directory=2E=2E

 The below line is the one added to make jre aware of the Telugu opentype
font POTHANA=2E=20

## A chunk of existing entries in fonts=2Edir file
 LucidaTypewriterRegular=2Ettf
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9
LucidaTypewriterOblique=2Ettf
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-i-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9
LucidaTypewriterBold=2Ettf
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9
LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique=2Ettf
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-i-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-9

 ## Added the below line to fonts=2Edir file
Pothana2000=2Ettf -b&h-Pothana2000-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

 Also increment the number in the first line of the fonts=2Edir file=2E


I think this would solve your problem=2E Please respond me with the status=
=2E
Do let me know if you need more details=2E=20
