Problems displaying swedish characters !

          Hi !
          I have a very strange problem, which I have been struggling with for a while now.
          I have a JSP page which calls Java classes to generate a HTML table. I define the
          basic structure of the table in the JSP file, such as which fields should be in it etc..
          The Java classes makes a call to an Oracle database and fetches the records in a
          recordset.
          On the JSP page I call a method which generates the HTML table from the recordset
          and returns a string to the page. I have a lot of swedish characters in some of the
          columns, and they display fine. At least when the table is not that big....
          Example:
          I populate the table with 24 records and swedish chars (åöä) looks ok, but when I
          populate the table with 25 records the swedish chars displays as jibberish.
          For example: 'ö' => 'Ã¶'
          What seems strange to me is that it looks like its depending on the amount of data
          that I return to the JSP page. In the logfiles all characters seems to be ok.
          Content-Type is set to 'iso-8859-1', if I change to 'UTF-8' they look ok.
          Unfortunately I cannot set UTF-8 as the content-type due to
          restrictions on the rest of the website.
          And since it seems that if I only send a smaller amount of data
          to the browser it looks ok, so there must be some way out of this...
          Has anybody got any clues ??
          regards,
          /Magnus

Solved the problem....
          I did not use the PrintWriter in the 'response' object to write the HTML-table, I
          simply just sent out a big string to the page which got corrupted when reaching
          a certain size.
          Solved it by using the PrintWriter instead.

Problem displaying Arabic characters in PDF using Java APIs

We are experiencing a problem when attempting to display Arabic characters within a PDF document using the Java APIs.
The relevant Java code is as follows:
RTFProcessor processor = new RTFProcessor("example.rtf" );
processor.setOutput( “example.xsl” );
processor.setExtractXLIFF(true);
processor.process();
ByteArrayOutputStream dataOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
dataProcessor.setDataTemplate( example.xdt" );
if( parameterValues != null && parameterValues.length > 0 )
setReportParameters( dataProcessor, parameterValues ); // method to set any report parameters from the parameterValues list.
dataProcessor.setConnection( jdbcConnection );
dataProcessor.setOutput(dataOut);
dataProcessor.processData();
FOProcessor foProcessor = new FOProcessor();
foProcessor.setLocale( locale );
foProcessor.setData( new ByteArrayInputStream( dataOut.toByteArray() ) );
foProcessor.setTemplate( “example.xsl” );
String xliffFileNameAndPath = getXLIFFFile( “example”, locale );
if( xliffFileNameAndPath != null )
foProcessor.setXLIFF( xliffFileNameAndPath );
foProcessor.setOutput( "example.pdf" );
foProcessor.setOutputFormat(
outputFormat == PDF_FORMAT ? FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF : FOProcessor.FORMAT_HTML );
foProcessor.generate();
The method getXLIFFFile( ) gets the relevant XLIFF file for the supplied report locale (if it exists) – the three test files that we used were Italian (example_it_IT.xlf), Spanish (example_es_ES.xlf) and Arabic (example_ar_AE.xlf).
I imported the following JAR files from the XML Publisher release (version 5.6.2) into my Java application: collections.jar, i18nAPI_v3.jar, versioninfo.jar, xdocore.jar and xmlparserv2.jar.
The output is OK for all three translations in HTML format, using a charset of UTF-8, and for Italian and Spanish in PDF format. However, the Arabic characters display as question marks in PDF format. The same issue occurs if I stream the output as a byte array straight to the HTTP response rather than save within a file.
Note that the same RTF, XDT and XLIFF files produce the correct output in both HTML and PDF when executed within XMLPublisher.
Thank you

Hi
I had a similar issue with arabic chars. With PDF layout, chars were appearing properly when preveiwd on local m/c, but as I implement file on server, it was displayed as ?????. I had raised a TAR 5798348.993 with oracle about this and they suggested to apply patch 4028294 Oracle Sourcing J Rollup and then patch 4182914. But later my users changed requirement and i cud not apply the patch to test if it works fine.
But here, you have suggested that installing fonts would do. Is it really that simple? If yes, dont know what is that patch for which I was told to apply.

Problems displaying russian characters in Adobe Reader

Good afternoon.
There is a file pdf, received from the customer. Most of it contains Russian letters. As a result, the latest version of Adobe Reader in Windows Vista and Mac OS (10.5.8 and 10.8.2), these characters do not display properly.
In Windows XP, 7 and 8 display problems are observed.
Ironically, Windows Vista and Mac OS that file correctly displays the program Foxit Reader and NeoOffice. MacOS also tried to open the file, adobe acrobat, but it is also not display the characters of the Russian alphabet. In what could be the problem?

Here is the Fonts tab in Mac OS:

Problems displaying Chinese characters

Safari cannot display Chinese characters from time to time. It would work in one session but it failed to display Chinese characters in another session even with the same settings in the Preferences. Can anyone give me some advice please?

The preferences don't necessarily matter. You most likely need to adjust the encoding in View > Text Encoding. If you will provide the url of an example page where you have a problem I can probably offer more specific help.

Problems displaying Thai characters in FTE components on Mac

I had originally posted a question here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4027591, but was told that this is more of a flash runtime issue.
I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
<flex-config>

            </fonts>
        </compiler>
    </flex-config>
...and another from flash-unicode-table.xml:
<language-range>
    <lang>Thai</lang>
    <range>U+0E01-0E5B</range>
</language-range>
My flex application originally had the following defined in its stylesheet:
    Application {
        fontSize: 12px;
        fontFamily: Arial;
        font-sharpness:0;
        font-anti-alias-type:advanced;
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya. Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.
Here's my question - is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.
Oh and I'm using flash player 10.3 right now.

OK, I asked the FTE team and got this reply: "Lucida Grande is CTS's fallback font for Thai. This font on OS 10.7 and 10.6 are not supporting Thai anymore. The version on 10.5 was supporting it." This means that it's our bug that we keep using Lucida Grande as fallback font even Apple dropped support Thai script with that font after 10.6. Unfortunately this bug was deferred from current development release (11.2) because of time constraint. If this support is critical for your business, can you open a bug in our public bugbase and ask as many vote as possible? In this way I may be able to convince internal team to fix this bug in next release.
Thank you for your feedback!

If you don't set fontFamily, what it will be? For such a question, you need turn to Flash runtime guys for help. I think you can find them on http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer?view=overview

PDF+ problems displaying foreign characters

I am opening PDF files from a Swedish newspaper in PDF+ application, but the Swedish local vowel variations (åäöÅÄÖ) are not displayed - instead they appear as rectangular boxes with an X inside.
Reading on the PDF+ site, they say that for Japanese characters to be mapped properly, you need to extend the amount of pre-installed fonts - but for these characters, all part of the usual Latin1 character set this problem shouldn't occur?
Anyone encountered any problems with "foreign" PDFs in PDF+?

I did not come across this problem cos.. I cant open a PDF file on my E51. Just now opened a new thread for help.

insert into blah values (chr(224));
insert into blah values (chr(225));
select dump(x) from blah;
DUMP(X)

TERM=xterm
and
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
ORACLE_TERM=vt220

None of these make any difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are running out of ideas.

Problem displaying foreign characters in application

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this question.
In my java application I have to allow the user to enter text which can contain "foreign" characters e.g. ø and è. I based the following code on a snippet I found on the web:
String nameContainingStrangeCharacters= new String(inputObject.getFullName().getBytes(), "UTF-8");
If I simply set this String back onto an object and display it on the front-end via JSP, then everything works fine on my local (Windows) build. I should add that I have the following line in my "output" JSP:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The problem is when I deploy my app to a Unix server. If if I input the same string and try to redisplay it, the "foreign" characters are now replaced by question marks.
So if In type in the name Stig Inge Bjørnebyè, this appears as
Stig Inge Bjørnebyè
on my "output" screen in Windows, but as
Stig Inge Bj?rneby?
in Unix.
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening? Can anyone help?

Did you read [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes%28%29]String.getBytes() ?
Use String.getBytes(String charsetName) or getBytes(Charset charset)
or CharsetEncoder.
It works on your Windows box because of what the platform's default charset happens to be.
But you should not getBytes() using some arbitrary (non-UTF-8) encoding and then make a String pretending your bytes contain UTF-8.
Unless the String returned by inputObject.getFullName() is the munged result of using the wrong encoding and you are trying to un-mung it.

Problems with Swedish characters in maps on n95

I upgraded my n95 to the latest firmware, 12.0.0.013 and after that my swedish map shows garbled road and city names, i.e Korsnäsvägen is displayed ad KorsnÃ¤svÃ¤gen. It looks like an international character issue. I also lost my navigation subscription after the upgrade and cant find any info on how to get it back. I've reinstalled the latest Nokia maps app and redownloaded the swedish map several times without any improvement

Hi tordolsson
1. Start Maps application.
2. Go to "Options > Extra services"
3. Select "Add navigation > Accept > Purchase > Select the correct region" (I.e. the region you have earlier purchased the navigation to).
4. You see a list of licenses with different lengths of time. You don't need to select the correct length, just go directly to "Options > Update".
5. Allow connection to license server to check purchase & license options by selecting "Yes" and by selecting proper Internet access point (if asked).
6. A note "xxx-day license activated" is shown where xxx is the amount of days left of your license.

Reports Builder - problem displaying Korean characters

Client-server setup (database 10G unicode AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, client Windows XP AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and users have no trouble viewing characters in the application using forms.
But running the reports through Reports Builder creates inverted question marks instead of Korean characters. The reports are not displayed on the screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.
My question:
1. Is Reports Builder Unicode compliant?
2. If yes - where and how do we set up the correct NLS_LANG?
3. If not - what is the solution?
Thanks, Veronika

But running the reports through Reports Builder
creates inverted question marks instead of Korean
characters. The reports are not displayed on the
screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.Is the Windows where you run Reports Builder Korean? What is the Windows Code page (ACP)?
What version of Reports Builder / Developer Suite?
You are not running the same report through a Reports server?
In a general sense, for oci apps, there's a conversion from database character set to client character set when retrieving the data (to match client environment/locale), and likewise a conversion to the database character set when storing character data.
With Korean (Hangul) characters in the db, these characters should be converted to replacement character such as inverted question mark (¿) when retrieved to a client with character set Latin-1 (iso 8859-1) - since its repertoire includes no Korean characters.
So, if the client side os is code page 949, you could try indicating a client character set of KO16MSWIN949. (You could try also by "lying" if the code page is different, but then you need to take care to set NLS_LANG as needed as it might affect other apps.)
Also, read this chapter of the Globalization Support Guide:

Problems displaying some characters

I have a dynamic HTML text field in my movie which is
populated with text from an XML file. I need to display a TM symbol
in the field and used the following in my XML:
<title><![CDATA[<b>Main Title Copy Goes Here
 </b>]]></title>
This works fine on my Mac but will not display on any PC so
far, I have also tried ™ but this does not work on any
platform.
Can anyone help with this? I thought I might be able to hack
it using multiple TextFormats or multiple TextFields but have had
no luck so far. Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers all

If your xml is utf-8 then I don't think you need the html
encoding with the ampersand.
The following works fine for me in windows:
var cdata="<b>Main Title Copy Goes Here
™</b>"
var tf:TextField=
this.createTextField("myTF",1,100,100,300,200);
tf.html=true;
tf.htmlText=cdata;
That was with the default settings and no embedded fonts etc.
