About applet and 4-bytes characters

Question

Hi,
I have attempted to display 4-bytes characters in textfield, but to no avail. Here is part of my coding:
int b[] = { 131096, 19985, 131160};
String a = new String(b, 0 , 3); // use code point to define the string
TextField hwtext = new TextField(a, 5) ;
hwtext.setFont(some font instance here)
hwtext.setEditable(true);
this.add("text1", hwtext)
Only the middle character (2-bytes) can be seen.
I used similar approach but put it to Graphics, something like:
g.setFont(textFont);
g.drawString(buffer.toString(), 40, 100);
(details omitted)
It works successfully. Any suggest?

Answer 1

I've tried your code but I've got the same result in both cases, ie only the middle character is displayed. So it seems to me that the problem is due to the font rather than other things.
If you say your applet could display correctly the characters, you could try to use the same font to both. What font are you using by the way?
