Dear List,
cc: Piere Frish - WebObjects Visionary
We noticed that our PDFkit does not work properly with the newest
Eclipse/WOLips 3.4.
It turns out that when applications launch from the newest Eclipse,
they have the property:
file.encoding=UTF-8 - Our PDFkit produces special characters
incorrectly
previously with Eclipse 3.3.X, and still case with deployment:
file.encoding=MacRoman - All OK
Now what is the best strategy going forward?
- Force the property to always be MacRoman with System.setProperty
or -Dfile.encoding=; or
- Force the property to always be UTF-8 + redo all our PDF fonts for
UTF-8; or
- any ideas?
Wouldn't it be safer to just accept whatever the default encoding type
is and explicitly convert the data passed to your framework to a
charset type you know is supported?
Please advice, as we want to announce the newest PDFkit 5.4.3 soon!
Thanks.
With Kind Regards,
