Hi, The version of registerDirectories() on my machine is same as you have mentioned below. I tried registering one of my own directories too by using the API public int registerDirectory(String dir)
Even this didn't work. Otherwise also I am calling registerDirectories() method which should register the below list of directories. But even adding Unicode fonts to these directories didn't work. I think it's a pure configuration issue (no problem with the code as its working fine on windows). Is it related to the .properties files in JRE/lib that map java fonts to physical fonts? Or is it anything about registering the fonts with the JVM? Abhishek -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter B.
