I've had some serious problems with non-english characters in the linux-port of
jdk.
Characters like "ÅÄÖ" are not displayed in a text-field, except when
using Helvetica or Times Roman fonts.
This problem has been present in all versions of jdk1.1.5 and also in the new
trial version of jdk1.1.6.
After a lot of trying, I've found that simply erasing every line in
font.properties after the line:
# exclusion info.
makes the problem dissappear, but I don't know if this affects anything else.
I've also made a simple test applet that demonstrates the problem, which I'll
attach to this mail.
I know a lot of people that have problems with swedish charachters when running
ICQJava under Linux, so I really hope this will be fixed in the next version of
the port.
