Does anyone have a good understanding of how non-standard, non-text fonts can be used in jdk 1.2. Most of the problem seems to have to do with the encoding of the characters I'm trying to draw in a graphics context. Although commercial programs such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop let me access the music characters by typing in characters from the keyboard, e.g. typing an & will give me a G-Clef, Java seems to use a level of indirection through Unicode. Even when using escape sequences with Unicode characters, e.g. \uf020, I still can't get things to print on screen. The internationalization documentation points me to the fontproperties files in the runtime environment, but I believe this should be solvable without going that route. Is this just a matter of using specific bytes to access the glyphs of the font correctly? Any insight would be appreciated.
