Does anyone know the secret to typing non-Latin-1 text into a Java program
on Linux? I've tried everything I can think of, but so far Java programs
stubbornly refuse to accept anything but Latin-1 characters from the
keyboard.
Here's my setup:
Debian GNU/Linux (potato with some packages from unstable)
Blackdown JDK 1.3 (I've also tried the IBM JDK 1.3)
One of the languages I would like to be able to type is Greek, so I did
the following:
Added ISO-8859-7 fonts to font.properties
Set the locale to el_GR
Set up a Greek keymap with xkbsetmap
I know that everything is set up properly on the X11 side because I've
been able to type Greek characters in an xterm, but when I start up a java
program and switch to the Greek keymap, it substitutes the upper half of
Latin-1 rather than Greek characters.
Is this possible, or am I banging my head against a brick wall?
