Re: BText and Unicode-encoded characters

I think Jacob and Christian are on to something. Check out this little 
test using swing.

If i run this code on the command line:

TextOut.java
==========================================================
import java.util.*;

public class TextOut{

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Locale.setDefault(new Locale("el", "GR"));
        
System.out.println("\u03a3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ac\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7");
    }
}
============================================================

The output is ??????????

But if I use swing, which has the font support I need to render the text 
properly everything look OK, I think, I can definetly say that this is 
all Greek to me.

Try this simple code.

TextOutUI.java
=============================================================
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class TextOutUI extends JFrame{

    public TextOutUI(){
        Container container = this.getContentPane();
        container.add(new 
JLabel("\u03a3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ac\u03b8\u03c1\u03bf\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7"));
        this.addWindowListener(
            new WindowAdapter(){  // Quits the Program
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event){
                    System.exit(0);
                }
            }
        });
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Locale.setDefault(new Locale("el", "GR"));
        TextOutUI to = new TextOutUI();
    }
}
============================================================

hopefully this gives you some insite to your problem.
