Target Audience: Software Engineer, Systems Analyst Level of Session: Beginner You may be surprised when many Java user interface components don't
display Unicode characters correctly. After all, Java's native character
set is Unicode. Instead of seeing
|
,
you see
.
What's wrong here? Java is supposed to display these characters, right?
The answer is yes, maybe. Correct character display often depends on a
little known and less understood file called font.properties. If
you've installed Sun's Java Development Kit, the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), or a Java enabled browser, you have this file. Having
a properly configured font.properties file can make all the
difference in whether you see multilingual text or mangled gibberish in
your Java application.
