Hi, if you work under Windows, you can use BabelPad , witch has some alternate input methods (like Yi -- I don't know if this help for Chinese, but seems to do). BebelPad is a very usefull, Unicode, and free, text editor.

RE: Testing custom font
Hi JD, I've been using Crimson Editor which has worked very well for me with different character sets. You can download it for free here: http://download.cnet.com/Crimson-Editor/3000-2352_4-10031858.html It is basically a configurable text editor.

Re: Testing custom font
Hey Pascal, Thanks for responding. I am using Rational Application Developer V7 (Eclipse based) and as far as I know it supports UTF-8. I did try copying a few characters from sites but it just pops up as ordinary characters. I am outside of work for a couple of days so need to check out the google translate option once I get back.

Re: Testing custom font
Hi, J D a écrit : I think I have added too much detail to the previous post. My basic doubt would be, how do I enter these Japanese character into the XML to test the new fonts. Assuming you are using an editor that supports Unicode encoding (like UTF-8 or UTF-16), you may copy/paste some Japanese text, for example from http://translate.google.com/.

Testing custom font
Hi, I was able to generate a metrics file for Japanese font but I just cannot think of a way to test it. By addiing the file to the Windows Font folder I was able to copy the characters from the character map (Accessories-System Tools-character map) but the IDE that I was using, Rational Application Developer, is only able to recognize Arial font (including the Arabic, German and other characters in Arial character set). How do I key in Japanese characters in RAD so that I can test it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Testing-custom-font-tp25343473p25343473.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
