Hi,
I have a Java app which uses the Japanese Hiragana unicode characters
that start at 0x3040.
On AIX, I can get these displayed by ensuring that I am using the
font properties file 'font.properties.ja' which is shipped in the JDK
lib directory.
On AIX I can make this be picked up by simply doing
'export LANG=ja_JP'
before running my Java program.
Can anyone tell me if there is an equivalent mechanism for Java/Linux
1.1.7 please ?
If I replace the default 'font.properties' with 'font.properties.ja' it
all works
fine and I see all my lovely Hiragana and Katakana squiggles: its just I
would
like to be able to do this on a per-shell basis. I was astonished that
the characters
displayed correctly, so massive congratulations again to the Java-Linux
porting team.
(I am also trying to achieve the same thing on WinNT 4.0, but with an
order of magnitude
less success. My current theory is that that I need to install the
*Japanese* version
of WinNT ??)
Thanks for any help
Rob
