Re: Having trouble with zapf dingbats font

Hello everyone, OK, here's what worked for me. I first installed the URW fonts from the www.gimp.org website, as instructed on the blackdown.org bug report page. This eliminated the "zapf dingbats not found" errors. Then, all text disappeared from all Swing components. A helpful gentleman,

I think there are specs like strict math in Java, which allows to use more than 64 bits of precision for intermediate calculations - you know Intel's x86 FPU has 80 bits. There was a discussion about utilizing those bits in Java. Jacob Nikom Juergen Kreileder wrote: > > > hilbrink writes:

Did you ever get this problem solved? The JDK still cannot find my "zapf dingbats" fonteither. I have tried the following: 1. Downloaded the URW fonts and put them in the directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts 2. Updated my etc/X11/fs/config file as shown below. The only new line is the one

That is actually documented I believe. It's not limited to jdk1.2. I don't know why it can't be just 0.3 but it is. This is why the language spec says not to compare floats and doubles without casting, you will always get negative results even though you think you should have a posi

Hi, I wonder if anyone could kindly mail me a copy of C2J, a C++ to Java translator. The site I've been looking at appears to have dead links : http://meurrens.ml.org/ip-Links/Java/joodcs/ChrisLaffra.html#C2J I recently found another prog called C2J, Russian I think, but this only did straight C.

Dear all, If I try to put a float into a double variable the last bits of the precision are total garbage ! If I try to put the float 0.3 into the a double the result is 0.3001192092896 !!! This could be a 'feature' but it renders java (or at least jdk1.2) completely useless for numerics ! H
