 |
|
Hi,
I'm having problems typing cyrillic characters in swing apps. Tried various precompiled java versions and 1.4.1-gentoo, but I'm always getting either squares or something looking like Arabic characters 
My locale is set to ru_RU.KOI8-R. Tried to use en_US.UTF-8, but it didn't help.
Any help will be appreciated..

you can set the java default encoding by calling java with the following parameter:
| Code: |
java -Dfile.encoding=YOUR_ENCODING
|
you also can set the enviroment variable JAVA_OPTS to that parameter.
You can also set the encoding of you .java files by calling javac with
| Code: |
javac -encoding YOUR_ENCODING
|
Note that the javac parameter has no =, the java one has... |

Thank you for help, but this problem is only when i try to _type_ russian characters in _swing_ text fields.
In text mode it's all ok. Also swing labels, menu, buttons and etc. appears
in Russian properly. Maybe it is X problem?
PS: And excuse me for my English  . |

Yes, i found!!! It's really X problem! In directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/koi8-r must be present file 'Compose':
| Code: | #
# koi8-r Compose Sequence
#
# Sequence Definition
#
# $XFree86: xc/nls/Compose/koi8-r,v 1.2 2001/04/26 21:09:40 dawes Exp $
#
# This file currently has no entries. It appears that a compose file (even
# just an empty one) is required for the appropriate keysyms to work for
# this encoding.
#
# <Multi_key> Means <Compose>
# Special Character
# End of Sequence Definition |
.
You can copy it from cp866 or cp1251 directory. Now all works finely.
Sorry for my English again. Can anybody, who knows English well, submit a bugreport to bugzilla? Thank you. |
