Greetings,
I'm a developer working on double-byte-enabling a java app. I'd like to
support user-defined characters (known in Japan as "Gaiji"). I took a look
at
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/intl/unicode_font.doc.html
and read the section on mapping user-defined characters to Unicode.
My problem is that I can't figure out how you get the glyph(s) into the
user's fonts to use on Linux. With Windows, there's a utility that takes a
user-supplied bitmap and makes it part of the system fonts, which you can
then access through the JVM. But I haven't yet found an equivalent tool in
the Linux world. It seems like I have to tell my users to create truetype
fonts on a Windows system, and then install them on their Linux systems:
ick. Or (more to the point of this mailing list) is there some helpful java
mechanism that I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance,
Polly Powledge
