Hi; In case anyone else hits this - the answer is to or 0xf000 to the char value - then it takes the low byte and goes straight to that char in the font - no mapping.

But it has to do with font mapping and there are some very smart font/java people here so I figured it can't hurt to ask. I am trying to create a bitmap from a windows metafile. The problem I am having is I get a EXTTEXTOUT with a string that is a single byte of 0xE5 (keep in mind that a metafile treats strings as a sequence of bytes and I assume DBCS bytes - not unicode). The font I am using is symbol and char 0xE5 is the SUM symbol. But when I set the font to symbol and write that string, I get the undefined char box char. I think it looks for the unicode glyph 0xE5 in symbol and it doesn't have one. How can I do a Graphics2D.drawString() where it does not look for unicode values in the font but instead gets the un-mapped value? thanks - dave David Thielen www.windwardreports.com 303-499-2544 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
