Unicode characters in applet.Actually, i18n.jar contains character encoding
converters and other useful things... but nothing that will help you display
Unicode characters: that's built-in even for the "crippled" JREs that do not
include i18n.jar.

Your problem is probably font releated. If you check out
http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html you will see information
on how to turn those infuriating hollow boxes into the characters you
expected to see the first time.

  Subject: Unicode characters in applet.

  Hi all,

  I have been trying to figure out ways and means to show Unicode characters
(certain Greek/mathematical symbols) in my java applet running on jre 1.3.x,
but all in vain. I am not able to hit as to how should I start off.

  Someone told me to use i18n.jar for internationalization of code. But I
couldn't get the thing exactly.

  In the applet I intend to show the characters as part of a JEditorPane
component which is anyway rendering all other html content.

  Can someone guide me as to how can I manage to my applet to show those
characters.

  regards

  raghav..
