Jython character display problem

Hi,
I am having problem with displaying character *¨* which is chr(168) or hex A8
when i try ;
s=chr(168)
print sit gives me *¿* which should be *¨*
It seems that jython is not supporting extended ascii characters
when i try the above in python it works perfect.
are there any solution to resolve this issue
Thanks ..

First of all thanks for your suggestion,
I have already tried that.
when i ord("mychar") i get the number 65533 which is vierd
i, have also tried to print all the characters to a file starting from 0
with
for i in range(0,400) :
fd.write(str(i) + " : " + chr(i))
in the file it seems all the characters after 127 seems ?
i think jython in my installation is lacking something
Kind Regards

OO4 character Display Problem

Hi All,
I am using Oracle OLE objects to connect to Oracle 9.2 DB
The NLS Language for the Database is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
the client is using also the same NLS.
When I retrive the information using OO4 some varchar2(Arabic Language) are return incorrectly from the DB, however when I use ADO on the same clinet it's correctly retrive all Data.
I've only on home at my PC, and its NLS language is correct, even when I use SQL*Pluse the characters are displayed correctly.
I also retrieved the NLS_LANG from the application using "SELECT USERENV ('LANGUAGE') FROM DUAL"
and it was correct using ADO and OO4.
Of course I've checked the registry value NLS_LANG and it's also AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8ISO8859P6
Any Help????

I think after all it is a problem with the either:
a. OS installer, which should really try to delete fonts which are duplicated by new system fonts
b. OS which should give precedence to new system fonts over old system fonts where there are two the same, especially when the system fonts are in /System/Library/Fonts and the old ones are in /Library/Fonts
The major annoyance is that this problem appeared with Leopard and took me hours of searching to figure out its origin - when you don't know if it is a character entry problem (which I thought) or a character display problem (which it turned out to be). In the end the fix was simple - delete the superceded fonts.

Character display problem latin characters

For some reason old fonts show latin characters when i type "o/" and "l/". The problem seems confined to old fonts (at least Geneva; Monaco; New York), so I guess it is a bug?

When ever capital 'w' (i.e W, plain,Dialog and size 11) is first character in a text field left upper portion is not visible.But if I change any of these properties( i.e plain,Dialog, size 12) there is no problem.
Can any body suggest me how can I display 'W' correctly with these propeties(i.e W, plain,Dialog and size 11).

Character display problems....11g connecting to SQL server

Hi Gurus,
db: 11.2
os: redhat 5.5
there is a problem when with character display with sqlplus and even worst on TOAD, SQL Developer tool.
there is a Heterogeneous connection between 11g and ms sql serever. i use freedts, unixodbc and dg4odbc to establish the connection.
using isql tool...the select statement was well formatted..see sample |
| Ventes USIM |
| Resprise de charge provisionnees sur creance BUT when i use sqlplus some character are shattered..please see sample
COST_NAME
V e n t e s U S I M
R e s p r i s e d e c h a r g e p r o v i s i o n n e e s s u r c r e
a n c ein other client tool e.g TOAD the output is worse just show only the first character of each row e.g V
i have tried french and english value for nls_language but did not solve the problem.
anybody with a clue of what is wrong...thanks

It looks like some wrong character set conversion (more exactly -- lack of it) involving UTF-16 from MS SQL Server NVARCHAR data type. I cannot tell what went wrong and if this is a bug as I do not have experience with this configuration. Please, work with Oracle Support to diagnose and fix this issue.

Hot Sync with Non-latin Character Display Problem

I have a XP Home Desktop with Palm Desktop 4.01 installed. When I do a hot sync with my Sony Clie T655C, the chinese characters are display correctly in both XP home Desktop and the Clie.
Now, I have a netbook with window7 Starter installed for travelling use. It took me a while to resolve the problem on the hotsync with window 7 starter and sony clie. At the end, I have Palm desktop v6.2 and Palmhotsyncsetup from pimlico on the netbook. I am able to do a hotsync with cradle/cable, but not through network (with TCP/IP not listen error message).
I have installed the chinese, English, french IME for the window 7 Starter netbook. I am able to type Chinese character in Notepad and Word and display the character correctly. I am able to save the file ( filename in both chinese and english character), re-open it and all characters are displayed correctly.
But with Palm Desktop v6.2, I am able to type chinese and the characters are displayed correctly in calendar/data book. When I close the palm desktop and re-open it again. All the characters become "?", as a result, I can not fully evaluate the software Pimlico for window desktop. As it only works with Palm desktop v6.2.
Any suggestion?

HELP!!! character display problem in JEditorPane

hi,
I got a headache with my program which needs to display multiple language html page in a JEditorPane. For example, if user requests a Chinese page then page is read in from an inputstreamreader using Chinese charset encoding. But what JEditorPane displays is squares and this is a very common font problem. I did everything I can
copy font.properties.zh to font.properties
set JEditorPane font as Font("SIMSUN",Font.PLAIN,12)
with the bug unsolved so far.
I am using Windows 2000/ME in UK locale.
Anybody could help please???

yes, the input data, for example in the case of Chinese Simpilify Character, is read in using a decoder with charset GB2312. I think I can print them out on prompt console but in a unrecognizable format.
Anyway, I would like to reconfirm the steps I took: (Presumably I know I am going to load a Chinese page)
1. rename font.properties.zh to font.properties
2. set the font of JEditorPane as ("SIMSUN",Font.PLAIN,12)
3. when try to load a Chinese page, there should be a ChangedCharSetException. extract the charset from the exception and use it to construct a new InputStreamReader.
4. I also set the content-type of JEditorPane as something like "text/html; charset=gb2312"
5. read in the data and parse it into a HTMLDocument instance.
6. finally use setDocument method to display the document on the JEditorPane.
In this way, the page gets displayed in unknown characters.
Anybody could show me something different but feasiable? Please!!!

Migrating welogic 6.1 to 8.1 international character display problem

Hi,
          I am migrating application from weblogic 6.1 to weblogic 8.1 sp1 , my problem is character like french, spanish and german are not displaying properly. i have tried following:
          1.<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8" pageEncoding="UTF8"%> in all the pages.(not working)
          2. i have removed above setting from all pages which are included as static (still not working)
          3. in weblogic.xml I defined<jsp-param>
                    <param-name>encoding</param-name>
                    <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>

In 6.1 how did the page look? i.e what encoding did it have? ISO-8859-1 should've fit all the langs you've mentioned unless I've missed something.

Crystal Report Oracle ODBC driver invalid Thai character display problem

Hi,
   My server has CR Oracle ODBC 5.1 installed on last week. We have several reports in the servers which called by our Application to export to text file and pdf file. Sometimes, the output (both text file and pdf file) can't display Thai character correctly. The text file show Thai character in question mark and pdf file show in square box. This problem occur randomly and disappear without doing anything. Sometimes the problem occur for an hour and gone but sometimes occur 10-15 minutes and gone. This problem also not happen every days. Once the problem occur, all reports with Thai character will fail.
   However, we have another server installed the same Application, same OS level, same OS patches and same CR Oracle ODBC driver version installed on the same time as above server (the problem server). This server does not have any problems.
   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Noppadon S.

Hi Noppadon,
Thank you for the info. If it happens randomly in their application then it's something they need to debug. Could even be in the ODBC driver.
I suggest you tell them that because it works sometimes it shows the issue is likely in their software because if it failed all the time then it would be in Crystal dll's. They need to debug the problem, suggest they use tools like Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com to step through to see where or what part is failing. If they having logging abilities that may help to find out what step is failing and in which API.
At this point we have no way of determining where the problem is, it's failing in their application and no one but them know what or how they are using CR runtime files.
If you can duplicate the problem using Crystal Report Designer then it's our problem, if not they have to help you to show us it is a CR issue.
Sorry we can't be of more help but without know their code we can't suggest anything to try. Suggest they log a call with support here to help them debug the problem if they don't know what to do.
Thank you
Don

Japanese Character Display Problem

It seems like the new JRE does not allow Japanese characters to be displayed on anything but the title bar of an application when running on a US English XP SP2 system with all of the proper language support installed.
I can see the Japanese Characters in the title bar, but in the rest of the application, they appear as outlined blocks. All of the text is coming from the same resource bundle so I know that it is loading correctly because it appears in the title bar correctly.
On a Japanese system with XP SP2, everything works as expected. Is there anything that I can do to correct this? I am using JRE 1.4.2 to compile the application, and the latest JRE to display it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI out there,
i'm having similiar problems when trying to parse / transform a database-generated xml-string containing Japanese characters into an html using a saved xsl file. I've tried zillions of ways (got from specialized forums) to do it getting hardly the same result all the time.
Now the point is that i'm getting the known-by-all "???" characters
but i've checked that the xml string is Genereted correctly from
the database using in my JSP page:
String aux = new String(TXT_FROM_DATABASE.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");...
then the JSP sets
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8"); (not necessary i guess)
   response.setContentType( "text/html; charset=UTF-8" ); and calls a function XML2HTML (from a *.class) that makes necessary
operations to call the transformer.transform method:
// auxiliary function to convert the string into UTF-8 (to ensure)
// has been tested that when calling to xml2html the String xml_string
// is correctly formed and does contain all japanese characters (all)
public static String convertString(String s, PrintWriter pw_out) {
       try{
         if(s == null) return s;
         String aux = "";
         byte[] bari = s.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
         aux = new String(bari, "UTF-8");
         return aux;
       }catch (Exception e){
         pw_out.print(e.getMessage());
         return "";
public static void XML2HTML(String xml_string, String xsl_file, ServletRequest req,
      ServletResponse res) {
      PrintWriter p_out=null ;
      String appdir = req.getRealPath("/");
      try{
        p_out = res.getWriter();
      } catch (Exception ioException){
        System.out.print(ioException.toString());
      // transformating ...
      try {
      // Creating the transformer object from the XSLT_file
      javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource xslFile = new StreamSource(new File(appdir+"\\"+xsl_file+".xsl"));
      javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      javax.xml.transform.Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslFile);
      transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.ENCODING,"UTF-8");
      transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes");
      transformer.setOutputProperty(javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys.METHOD,"html");
     // create the source Stream
      String xmldata = convertString(xml_string,p_out);
      StringReader xml_sr = new StringReader(xmldata);
      StreamSource xml_source = new StreamSource(xml_sr);
      // result Stream
      javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult outResult = new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(p_out);
       //calling the transform method !! (source/result)
      transformer.transform(xml_source,outResul
      } catch (Exception e){
        p_out.print ("<br/>EXCEPTION__" + e.toString());
        p_out.print ("<br/>CAUSE" + e.getCause());
        p_out.print ("<br/>nMSG" + ((TransformerException)e).getMessageAndLocation());
} and my XSL DOES contain these lines at the very beginning:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" media-type="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>more:
* all my files are saved as UTF-8
what makes me go crazy:
* In the jsp after the call to the xml2html method i've written
<%=xml_string%> and it does write "????" characters for all elements
except for one of them (japanese word that i wrote out directly in japanese,
but if in the jsp page i INCLUDE
<%@page language="java" pageEncoding="utf8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF8"%>
THEN THIS only written-out element in japanese is not displayed correctly either.
and even MORE !
if in the xsl file i include:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head> it does not display it correctly neither...
is this possible ?
may the problem be that the function i'm calling is in a *.class ?
please help (i've been working around for days now)
my work enviroment is
eclipse (project set to utf-8 encoding)
wsas 5.0
jdk 1.4
thank you for your time
and nice day to you all!!

Greek Character Display Problem

Hi
Server Side : We are using Oracle 8i . Database Character Set = UTF8.
Client Side: Windows XP. Modified Control Panel->Regional Settings -> Advanced->Language for non-unicode program = Greek.
Changed Alter session set NLS_Language = GREEK
When we opened the oracle connection in our VB application.
From our Visual Basic application
Now I am able to input greek chars, Retrieve it back and displayed correctly.
But When we copy a particular string and paste it in a field, one particular
character is always showing as ?. As we don't have a greek keyboard, I don't
know what combination of keys to press to key-in that particular character.
This is the Word I have copied from Editor and pasted it in the VB field.
Ονοµα επιßάτη .
Except the Character which looks like B, all other greek characters are getting displayed properly and inserted correctly in the database. Only that particular letter is displayed as ? (question mark)
Any idea what is wrong !!.
Thanks in advance.

Bean:message chinese character display problem

Hello forum,
I found that message resources with Chinese characters are unable to display correctly in M7's JSP Design pane. I tried to change workspace encoding to GBK, and Eclipse is able to display the Resources file itself correctly, but the problem still exists in M7.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Wang Yin

If you add the meta tag "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" />"
does it show the resources properly?

Euro character display problem

Hi,
I stored the euro sign (� ) (press alt+0 1 2 8 on Windows to get that sign) in an Oracle database table in varchar2 type column. when I do 'select * from table_euro;', I get the euro sign displayed properly in SQL prompt.
SQL> select * from table_euro
2 /
NAME
�
Now, I programatically read it using Java Resultset object, but it displays as � (which is Alt + 1 2 8 in key press). This' how I fetch it programmatically:
dbStatement = dbCon.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
dbDataReader = dbStatement.executeQuery(query);
while(until result set is read fully)
Object fieldData = dbDataReader.getObject(fieldIndex);
System.out.println(fieldData);
For the euro sign, the above prints � . Why is that? Can anyone please throw some light on it?
Thanks.

Two different character encodings can indeed give different sequence of bytes on the same character. Decoding will fail when the charset used to decode the bytes to a character is different from the charset used to encode the character to bytes.
