#3473 — UTF-8 in Swing app on Win

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi,

I have a Swing application which runs fine on Linux, showing some UTF-8 
symbols outside of the usual range fine.  However, on Win2000, these 
show up as the usual strange symbols.  So obviously, the strings are 
interpreted as cp1252.

How can I set it to use the proper symbols?

This only happens with the native look and feel, if I choose the default 
cross-platform one, the menuAs show up fine.

However, there is some text I read in and display as well, which gets 
garbled all the same.  How to fix this?

Thanks, H.

Hm, seems to work now, strangely, although the only thing I changed was 
a fix to my second question:

final BufferedReader queriesF = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(selectedFile), "UTF-8"));

instead of

final BufferedReader queriesF = new BufferedReader(new 
FileReader(selectedFile)));

Ah well, H.

Use Wassup to find out what the default encoding is, or use the
Encoding applet.

See http://mindprod.com/applet/wassup.html
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html

Any time you are flipping files between platforms, you are had better
pick an explicit encoding, usually UTF-8, or use binary.

grab the char and dump it out in decimal. You may have the wrong
character, or you may have problems rendering the correct character.

Use http://mindprod.com/applet/fontshower.html
to help track down problems.
