localization

I have a resource bundle that contains Japanese text that I would like to use in the JFreeChart graphs that I include in my application. When I display the Japanese characters in my html page, they display fine. However, if I pass them to the JFreeChart methods to set titles, etc..., garbage (empty boxes) is displayed.

Does JFreechart support localization?

Hi,

what charset and encoding do you use? Is it Unicode with UTF-8?
Can you give some example text?

cu,
Christian

I using the following encoding in my html page. Note, when I pass the following Japanese text directly into my html page, it displays fine. However, when I pass the same text to the JFreeChart methods to set the title & labels, the text does not display.

<meta http-equiv="charset" content="UTF-8">
<meta charset="UTF-8">

You need to ensure that the font you are using to display the text in JFreeChart actually supports the Japanese characters you are trying to display.
