On RedHat 5.2, with JDK 1.1.7 V3 I get the following snippet of output with verbose when displaying a string of Japanese text... [Loaded sun/awt/motif/MFontPeer.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/PlatformFont.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded java/awt/peer/FontPeer.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/FontDescriptor.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/motif/CharToByteX11JIS0208.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/io/CharToByteJIS0208.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/io/CharToByteDoubleByte.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/motif/CharToByteX11JIS0201.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/motif/CharToByteX11Dingbats.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/CharToByteSymbol.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] You will noticed that some conversion classes are in there. Here is the snippet from RH 6.0, all else the same... [Loaded sun/awt/motif/MFontPeer.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/PlatformFont.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded java/awt/peer/FontPeer.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/FontDescriptor.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/motif/CharToByteX11Dingbats.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded sun/awt/CharToByteSymbol.class from /usr/local/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip] [Loaded /home/scleaves/src/proto2/com/silknet/ebusiness/core/ds/client/UnicodeCanvas .class] As you can see, there are no conversion classes for Japanese getting loaded. I imagine I could start decompiling things and see what the code is doing, but I don't have a decompiler handy at the moment and this may not be a trivial hunt. I'd like to know if anyone has tried to display Japanese (I'm just drawing it to a canvas) and had success under RH6.0? stephan ## Stephan R.
