Aterm 1.0.1: no accented greek characters

After a pacman -Syu a new version of aterm, namely 1.0.1, got installed. But then I cannot type greek accented characters in this new version and every program opened via aterm, eg vim. Greek characters type OK, only accents don't show. I don't know where the problem resides, I downgraded to aterm 1.0.0 and added aterm to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. Now everything works as it should. Anyone knows the solution to this?

Hi Dimos,
as with most containers, GlassFish has a default charset encoding configured in a central configuration file (sun-web.xml). See the corresponding document for details:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4502/beavn?l=en&a=view
However, it seems I misunderstood your first posting: I thought you were experiencing that problem with the current production release, not with the EA-version.
I'm not sure if the developers changed anything about the charset-handling in the current EA-version, but as there have been some issues with that until at least 1.0.2, it wouldn't be completely unlikely.
You could try to find out if this is a general issue by switching your application (or a copy)/workspace to English and see if the problem persists. If not, it is very likely to be a charset problem with the current EA-version.

Howing greek characters with accents

Hello everybody,
I've an applet developed using swing where I've to show some greek text. The problem is that I can see the standard greek characters but I cannot see those characters with accents or spirits.
The document that contains the text is a DefaultStyledDocument and, right now, I've configured it in this way:
Style normal_style = this.addStyle("normal", null);
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(normal_style, "lucida");
this.setParagraphAttributes(0, 0, normal_style, false);
I've used the lucida family since I've read that family is able to render the greek but any character with an accent is rendered with a small rectangle.
I upload the text from a text file encoded using utf8. The example text is the following:
Κύκλου τμήματος δοθέντος προσαναγράψαι τὸν κύκλον,οὗπέρ ἐστι τμῆμα.
Ἔστω τὸ δοθὲν τμῆμα κύκλου τὸ ΑΒΓ· δεῖ δὴ τοῦ ΑΒΓ τμήματος προσαναγράψαι τὸν κύκλον, οὗπέρ ἐστι τμῆμα.
Τετμήσθω γὰρ ἡ ΑΓ δίχα κατὰ τὸ Δ, καὶ ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Δ σημείου τῇ ΑΓ πρὸς ὀρθὰς ἡ ΔΒ, καὶ ἐπεζεύχθω ἡ ΑΒ· ἡ ὑπὸ ΑΒΔ γωνία ἄρα τῆς ὑπὸ ΒΑΔ ἤτοι μείζων ἐστὶν ἢ ἴση ἢ ἐλάττων.
Also, when I save this text using my application my new saved file still contains the correct characters with the accent and all the stuff.
The problems seems to be just the rendering in the application...
Any idea?

RTF and Greek characters

Hello
I am trying to build a swing application witch displays
RTF
documents in Greeks from a database. I have try to use
jTextPane but the Greeks characters does not displays
correct.
I have try to paste a document from a word with the same
results.
What is the problem?

The problem is not the font
My problem is that:
I am having a huge access database file with an rtf field. That rtf has created from Word. When am trying to display those field in a JTextPane greek characters does not displayed correct.
If i wrote some text with Greek characters in JTextPane then those characters appears correct.
When i saw row data from rtf field in access greek characters is as \'e1\'e2\'e3 etc. When I saw row data from an RTF file thaw created from JTextPane greek characters appears like this \u945 ?\u946 ?\u947 ?\u948 ?\u949 ?\u950 ?\u951 ?\u952 etc.
I think the problem is that data in RTF field in access is in Cp1253 - Windows Greek and JTextPane needs UTF-8 or UTF-16 RTF
Is is Possible to convert the data from RTF field from Database File to UTF-8 or UTF-16 RTF to work correct with Java?
or best to convert to HTML as UTF ?

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.
regards,
christian

How to see Greek characters inside a PDF report (made with XML Publisher)

Hi,
I just patched my e Business Suite (ver. 11.5.9) in order to use XML Publisher 5.6.3.
It works fine, but I have a big problem when I want to see Greek characters inside my report; instead to see the Greek characters I see only '?????'
I tried to add some font under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility following the Doc ID: 373377.1 "How To Install a Font Using XML Publisher Administrator", but my problem remains: I don't see my Greek characters
Do I need to add any other fonts on the file system ? and where ? (under which path), or I set something at the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility level (under the Administration link) ?
Any help will be appreciated, because it's very urgent to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Alex,
Please verify the value of $AF_CLASSPATH variable and make sure that JRE_TOP/lib/fonts is part of this env variable (in addition to $CLASSPATH).

How to show Greek characters in Italic style

How to show Greek characters in Italic style
Hi all, I'm tryng to resolve a problem with the Greek characters
I need to display labels in two languages, english or greek inside my report.
At the beginning of the report I have a placeholder with the xml code : *<?param@begin:p_language?>*, so I can understand inside my report if the user chose the Greek or English, and then I have many placeholders (labels) which have to be written in Greek or English.
If the language chosen is English, I don't have any problem to show my labels bold or italic in every fonts
Inside the placeholder I wrote the following code:
*<?xdofx:if $p_language = 'Ελληνικά' then 'Οργανισμός' else if $p_language = 'Αγγλικά' then 'Organization' end if?>*
I can chose font, style and bold/not bold directly from Word and when I run the report in pdf I see exactly what I chose.
If the language chosen is Greek....I see always the label in Arial, NOT BOLD and NOT ITALIC...
In order to see Greek characters BOLD:
a) I added (under the ADMIN tab/Runtime Configuration/Font Mappings/ ) a font named Arial and I addeda target Font named Arialbd.ttf under the directory: D:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\BIP_101341\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
b) I changed the font (from word) to Arial
Now, ONLY with tha ARIAL font I can see my labels in greek bold, but I can't still see them in italic style.....
So, I tried to force these condition inside the placeholder with the following code:
*<?if:$p_language = 'Ελληνικά'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font">Times New Roman</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-style">Italic</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="color">red</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>Οργανισμός<?end if?>*
...but I continue to see the labels in Greek only bold, red but not in Italic Style......
Also adding another font called Arialbi.ttf (Arial bold Italic)...I can't see my labels in Greek bold with Italic Style....
Anybody had the same problem with another alphabet different from the latin one ???
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Alex

The final solution to greek characters in AWT applets(????)

OK. I have searched the whole web and asked whoever I knew. The question was simple: How do I show greek characters in a TextField in an AWT Applet? Some people said that I should change the font properties inside MY jre/lib installation but then I want EVERYONE and not just ME seeing the greek characters! Adding a greek font into the applet's jar was another "solution" but who wants to have an applet of about 2MBs? So I think I have come up to the answer ... ONLY with jre > 1.4.0 somebody could handle greek characters in AWT Applets without trooble! If somebody has managed to show and handle greek characters in a TextField inside an AWT Applet (which I doubt), I would like to know EXACTLY HOW as I am tired of non-working "solutions"! I hope this post saves you from a lot of time searching for the HolyGrail

I haven't worked with a TextField but I worked with a JTextField. My solution wasn't very straightforward but it did the job.
I used this solution in order to work with linux, but you must add an if
statement to check the OS.
If your problem was how to view Greek characters in a non internation version of
Java, then as far as I know, you cannot! Also JDK 1.3.1_01 and j2re 1.4.0_01
use a different way of loading system fonts, so with the latter you cannot use system fonts unless you put them in you java directory.
(I use linux so don't be surprissed if these work different in windows)
import java.io.*;
public class JTextFieldGr extends javax.swing.JTextField {
public JTextFieldGr() {
super();
myInit();
public JTextFieldGr(String text) {
super(text);
myInit();
public void myInit() {
addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyListener() {
public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
try{
String tmp=""+evt.getKeyChar();
String uk=new String(tmp.getBytes(),"ISO-8859-7");
evt.setKeyChar(uk.charAt(0));
}catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){

Issue in Inserting Greek characters in Oracle DB

We are facing the following issue in our project. Need urgent help.
We have a multilingual string(message with Greek characters) coming in from KSD gateway. This is to be processed by MHL(message handling layer- which validates and converts the incoming message into SQL statements and vice versa). Once the validation and conversion of incoming message is completed and then SQL statement is prepared, it inserts this data in the Oracle database. We are using OCI interface for database communication. Client program is written in C language. While inserting data in Oracle DB, we are getting exception as explained below.

It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.

When i send an email with greek characters in the body, the recipient receive it in an unreadable form.

When i send an email with greek characters in the body, many recipients (not all) cannot read it.
At the same time when i use the internet mail it can be read successfully by the recipient.
I have already checked the encoding settings in the Fonts in order to be "unicode (UTF-8)".
What else can i check?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot Store Greek Characters in NVARCHAR2 columns

Can someone please help.
I have a table TEST with one column A of type NVARCHAR2(20) and when I try to insert the greek character Ω(Omega) - it gets stored as O instead.
I am inserting using SQL Developer using the 'N' prefix and my environment is as follows:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_LANG setting on client side is ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE8MSWIN1252.
Why can I not insert greek characters with the above setup and what do I need to do/change in order to be able to insert greek characters in a database using the national characterset for storing unicode data ?

Result of running SELECT a, dump(a) FROM TEST after insert an 'O' and an 'Ω' is as follows:
A DUMP(A)
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
I added a VARCHAR column, column B, there is no difference in what is getting stored in the NVARCHAR column when inserting 'Ω', result is below:
INSERT INTO TEST (A, B)
VALUES(N'Ω', 'Ω');
SELECT a, dump(a, 1016), b, dump(b, 1016) FROM TEST;
A DUMP(A, 1016) B DUMP(B, 1016)
O     Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,4f     O     Typ=1 Len=1 CharacterSet=WE8MSWIN1252: 4f
I'm I missing something here, since my understanding is that NVARCHAR2 columns should be able to store Unicode data ?

Report printing in Greek characters after changing Font

Hi All,
We had a bunch of reports created in 'Courier New' font whose output type is PDF. The users wanted the reports to print in 'Arial' font. When I changed the same from Courier New to Arial and ran the report , the report is printing in Greek characters instead of English. I initially thought that it prints in Greek may be because of insufficient space or something for the text fields but there seems to be sufficient spaces to print characters. I tried reducing the size and still the reports prints in Greek in lower size.
Can anyone let me know how to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Srini.

Problem converting font to .afm using ttf2pt1

I can't see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader

Dear colleagues,
Your help will be appreciated for the following problem:
I have a tool which converts IBM I (AS400) spool file to PDF.
The file has been copied to Windows environment.
On generated PDF I can’t see the Greek characters using ADOBE reader v10.1.4.
If I use Notepad to display the file, I can see the Greek characters.
It seems that following PDF keywords are not recognized form PDF reader.
/BaseFont /Courier
/Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding
I have tried to use various fonts and encoding (cp1253, ISO8859-7) with no luck.
On PDF reader folder there is the following file:C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Resource\TypeSupport\Unicode\Mappings\win\CP1253.TXT
I believe somehow to tell PDF reader to use this encoding.
What actions required on our Win/PDF environment setup?
What actions required on PDF file generation? (/BaseFont, /Enconding, etc)

Too many assumptions! It is much, much more complicated than your attempted solutions. The PDF Reference shows the contents of WinAnsiEncoding; this is as for your first example. I feel you probably need to spend very much more time reading this book.
In the second example you are using a different code page (or other encoding method) to view the data. This is not going to help you because WinAnsiEncoding is fixed in all environments and does not use the code page.
To use greek characters you will need the PDF to
- use fonts which contain greek characters (the built in Courier PostScript font probably does not)
- use an Encoding which references the greek characters. There are no built-in encodings that do this
You cannot make simple cosmetic changes to this file to do this. The style of simplified font with no FontDescriptor can be used only for the built-in 14 fonts, which cannot be used with a greek encoding.
Commonly, a combination of the greek letters in the Symbol font and the Latin letters in another font are used by constant font switching. This is of course only a solution for Greek, not other non-Latin alphabets.

Display greek characters

Hello all,
I'm trying to use the photo gallery example and i need to
display greek characters in the dropdown box of the example but all
i get is trashed characters. I have declared encoding=iso-8859-7
for the xml file, saved it as utf-8 file and tried to use CDATA to
display the characters but no luck so far..Is there another
solution?
Thanks in advance,
Kostas Lagos

Hello,
I'm a little confused by the way you have created the XML
file. Because you declared the file as ISO-8859-7 the file will be
interpreted using this encoding. The real file encoding being UTF-8
the characters will not be correctly read by the browser.
Another thing you should consider is the encoding of the HTML
page that should be the same as the XML file.
Try to save the XML and declare it UTF-8 then go into the
HTML and change its setting too into UTF-8. In case this is not
working please post here a link to your web page to analyze closely
the problem.
