Problem in java local

[abhay.asingh]

Hi,

I want to display charts for different languages( say japanese).
I have a property file from where i can set the Locals. for japanese i have set
Local=jp_JP

but when i generate charts it gives me junk chars... i have changed browser(mozilla/IE 6) encoding to UTF-8.(i can see other text, other then chart in proper way).
I am using jre1.5.0 (sun) in Suse 10.0 O/S.
Do i need to install any language package?
i have psfont.properties.ja file in my jre/lib/

Most likely Java is using a different font to your browser...and the font the browser is using supports the Japanese characters you want to display, while the font that Java is using doesn't.

Hi,

I think you are right, i wrote the map file for the chart created and if view that map file in any editer then i found junk chars where i need
text in new language.
but when i checked my log file i found that its taking correct locale
I used this to set locale

Code: Select all

 Locale locales = new Locale("ja", "JP");
 Locale.setDefault(new Locale("ja", "JP"));
 String displayLanguage = locales.getDisplayLanguage(locales);
 log.info("Locale="+locales.toString() + ": " + displayLanguage);

and my log file entries is
INFO Graphserver:78:main Locale=ja_JP: 日本語

where in chart it showes like this

As I said, Java is using a font that doesn't include glyphs for the characters you want to display. Change the font to one with better unicode support, and you'll see the characters you are expecting.

Hi,

I am useing org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory functions like createBarChart etc..
and there is no options to pass fonts , in this case i need to wirte functions for tooltip, legends and labels seperatly right?

[david.gilbert]

You have different options:

(1) Change the default font for the JVM:

http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies ... -rendering

(2) Create a new ChartTheme with the font you want, and apply that to your charts (then you won't have to change each and every font attribute in the chart structure);

(3) Go through the chart structure and change each font attribute individually.

Note that if you are coding a Swing application, the tool tip font is controlled by the look and feel, not JFreeChart.

Even I am creating chart by following method.
chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart3D(..);

Thanks in advance.
