Difficulties to display Webdings font (or Wingdings)

Does anyone know how to set Webdings font (or Wingdings) in a JLabel ?
When the setFont method is invoqued with those fonts, it is impossible to display the characters setted in the JLabel.

I'm just wondering if you've already solved the problem. I have
exactly same problem with you. If you have any improvment in the
process of solving the problem, please let me share it with you.

Thanks.

  • Problem in displaying webdings font in JLabel

    I want to use webdings font to display any arbitary string in JLabel. But it is only showing sqaures, any ideas whats the problem ?
    I had the font installed and i had checked it. Font display is also working nice in other applications like IE etc.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Make sure you're using characters that the font can actually display, otherwise you'll just get those squares. Here's an example that works on WinXP SP1 with Sun's JDK 1.4.2_05-b04:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Wingdings {
        private static final Font WINGDINGS = new Font("Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 1);
        private static final Runnable GUI_BUILDER = new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    // scissors
                    JLabel label = new JLabel("\u2701\u2702");
                    Font labelFont = WINGDINGS.deriveFont(32f);
                    label.setFont(labelFont);
                    JFrame f = new JFrame();
                    f.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                    f.pack();
                    f.setVisible(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            EventQueue.invokeLater(GUI_BUILDER);
    }

  • Webdings font used infopath list form not displaying in firefox

    We are using expand and collapse functionality in infopath 2010 using section along with buttons. We are using button text as webdings font to display up and down arrow mark. This works fine on IE. But not on firefox instead of arrow its displaying number
    5 and 6. How can we display that in firefox as well.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Rajasekar A.C

    Hi Rajasekar,
    It seems Firefox cannot render the webdings font if we use it in InfoPath, per the following similar post, you can use the "Times New Roman" as a workaround, please see more from the following reference.
    " Fonts
    Picking the font/symbols is more limited than this would initially have you belief.  Testing later, I found that the characters chosen didn't render in Webdings font in any Firefox or Safari.  Neither did symbols in any of the Wingdings fonts render
    correctly.  They worked fine in IE, but not in other browsers.
    My workaround was to instead choose a web safe font Times New Roman, choose the arrow characters from that font in character map to copy and paste.  Those work across the board in all three of the aforementioned browsers.
    Kind of weird because as far as I understand, Webdings, Wingdings, Wingdings 2, and Wingdings 3 are all supposed to be supported by Firefox and Safari . . . maybe it's something to do with SharePoint in combination with browsers other than IE? "

  • Wingdings/webdings fonts not working with 10.9 ?

    Hi everyone.
    With the new version of OS X Mavericks, the fonts wingdings and webdings are no longer in the choice list of fonts in Pages 5 or text Edit for example. While they are in my FontBook and valid ! Any idea of how to slove the problem ?
    Thanks
    R

    rom_1,
    I was just able to do so in Pages, too.
    When you try to do it in Pages, what happens? By the way, the first place I tried it was in TextEdit, so I can get the same functions in TextEdit, Pages and Keynote (and Numbers, just tried )
    Now, one thing, if you get a weird symbol instead of glyph you're looking for, it's probably because you haven't chosen the Webdings font. Do Command-T and make sure "Webdings" is selected (I type it into the search area instead of looking for it). The Font's name doesn't appear to show up in the interface, but the font will display on the page (I haven't tried printing, though).

    Hi,
    I have a korean PDF file which I am using Adobe Acrobet 9 Pro to view the file.  When I open the file, the text is all in not-standard characters.   An example looks like the following:
    I tried to search to see if I am missing installing the font for Acrobet, but couldn't really find anything.  Then, I checked the file properties, under the Font tab, it did not list anything.
    I want to ask if anyone would know why the PDF file is not displaying the font properly?  and is there anyting I can do to fix it?
    Thanks.

  • Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

    Thanks as always…
    I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
    hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
    certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
    I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
    does not display…
    I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
    Any ideas? Thansk.

    Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
    flash?
    I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
    "true-type" font.
    In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
    assume is the case in your situation),
    then the font works just like in an html page:
    if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
    not, it won't. The way around this, is to
    embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
    to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
    So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
    MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
    talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
    a web-safe font.

  • Google Chrome displaying incorrect fonts

    I have just downloaded google chrome for the first time and tested a site I have built in it, and all the fonts are times/serif style when I have created the style sheet to have ariel/helvetice/sans serif as the default body font.
    Every other browser I have tested my site in has displayed the correct fonts - even dare I say it - Internet Explorer seems to be doing a great job! So why not chrome? Having looked for some rational reason, I decided to come here, using chrome as my browser, and it was then that I noticed that the adobe site which is normally sans serif is displaying serif fonts!!
    Why?
    Here's a link to the site:
    http://www.matthewstuartdesign.co.uk/tandr/
    Thanks.

    Oh bless you... are you and your hefty walleted father in-law really that naive to believe this is a live website?
    I am in the process of constructing the site, and as a result, I need to test it on a testing server rather than on my client's live domain! Occasionally, one has problems that one cannot seem to overcome without a little guidance from others who are able to help, which is obviously why you have joined this forum. If one does have problems, then you will without question be asked to show an example of the site and its code before you even get a relevant and constructive response. That's all you are looking at
    As you rightly point out, the product range is missing images. If you actually bothered to look at the code, you would see that the source is blank, and secondly, if you read the text below each, you would see that all four are identical. Why would I bother to do that on a live site? You will also see that there are other parts of the site that I am yet to build, or if they are built, then I need to populate them with something other than dummy content. There is so much lorem ipsum across the site that I find it hard to believe anybody would consider this to be a finished product!
    Look at what you have just judged and you will realise that there are so many clues that this isn't a complete site. The domain I have asked people to look at is under the name of matthew stuart design, and if you bothered to look at the top level of the domain, you'll quickly discover I am a graphic and web designer. I do not supply generators to markets (which are clearly indicated), such as the military where they generate electrical power to war torn regions to aid in the rebuild of that which has been destroyed... I don't supply the medical sector where stand-by power is required just in case there is a power failure during open-heart surgery.
    If you studied the content of the wibiya bar, you would see that it refers to me as a designer, and my approach is a friendly one. However, at the moment I don't feel particularly friendly. Every job I have done has fulfilled my clients needs, but not only that, it has also fulfilled the requirements of my client's clients'. The wibiya bar is simply there as an example to my customers... I don't even have it on my live site!
    What you have posted is totally out of line. The client I am building this site for has an exceptional name in their industry, and if your father in-law was in the market of buying a power generator, then I recommend them highly, and they will be able to build him something that suits his budget. If your father in-law requires a website, then I suggest he use somebody with experience, and that would be me, or any number of other experienced members of this forum.
    So, your father in-law has made an incorrect judgement - leading me to question if he applies the same analytical processes to his million pound budget, OR, it's more than likely you have misled him due to your own naivety, and if that is the case, then I apologise for my previous comment about his capabilities.
    If you're going to insult me, make sure you get your ducks in a row before-hand. Making such a comment could spread like a virus ruining my clients reputation... that's not just A BIG NO NO, it is hugely irresponsible!
    By the way, I don't sell paper clips, but I've had a box full of them for more than 10 years and I don't use them; you can have them free of charge... you'll just need to pay for the postage!

    Not now. Maybe in a few years or so. Or maybe never, if you stop to think about it.
    There are several free automatic translators on the web. You can find them by googling it. (Your Dashboard translator uses Systran's.)
    I tried using text input
    I assume you mean you enabled Kotoeri, the Japanese input method. This is for those who wish to type in Japanese. It's not a translating tool.

  • Asian fonts display in font book but show as Western fonts in apps!

    Adobe apps still display Asian fonts as Western characters, even though I've changed language settings via the "international" control panel of System Preferences. Perhaps I have not done this correctly? I've restarted the machine after changes to Systems language prefs. Asian and other calligraphic fonts are all installed and display fine in Font Book. Is there a fix?

    As my aim is to access character sets without the
    need to change the language settings on my machine
    That's exactly what Character Palette does.
    think the ideal solution is to get a copy of
    Fontographer and copy all the decorative fonts and
    save them as standard fonts.
    A total waste of time in my view.
    True Futhark has several
    characters that stand for phonetics not compatible
    with plain roman alpha/qwerty keyboard use. I
    understand the same is true of other fonts-there are
    bound to be discrepancies.
    Most of the characters in the world are not compatible with qwerty keyboard use. That's why in general people don't use that method to produce them, or try to jigger fonts so they might be able to.
    Perhaps this is why so
    many characters come up as "?" even when inserted
    via the Finder's character palette?
    This may be because your app is set to Latin-1 or some other limited encoding. It should be set to UTF-8. Try Character Palette with TextEdit and you will not get any ?'s.
    Control+T does nothing in Adobe apps, as far as I can
    see. Apple+T brings up the Type palette but there is
    no "insert special character" option there.
    I got that wrong. The combo for Apple apps is Option + Apple + T. I don't know if that works in Adobe (don't use them myself).
    I did notice a wonderful
    Tibetan font that must be on my machine somewhere,
    though it does not show up in Font Book under "All
    Fonts"!
    These are part of the ST series of Chinese fonts. If you go to the Tibetan range in Character Palette you can see this and you can also input them in TextEdit or a UTF-8 doc. Or you can examine the contents of an ST font by putting Character Palette in glyph mode.
    I guess ideally, for graphics use, one should get the
    characters into a standard font file, as I suggest
    above, and then type away merrily qwerty-style.
    Some Asian scripts have thousands of characters. Using a qwerty keyboard to try to access a few of them from a recoded font is not something that anyone does as far as I know. They use a specialized Input Method or the Character Palette or a similar utility. Also unless you are truly transforming your output into graphics/photos, your input would be seen as qwerty on other machines.
    suppose these decorative fonts are available on the
    web somewhere, where those who sell them have gone to
    the trouble of transcribing the characters in to an
    'ordinary' font for you?
    Never seen such things myself.
    It seems a shame that Macs OSX can't grant you access
    to all these decorative fonts (indeed, to all
    installed fonts) in a more straight forward manner.
    The Character Palette is the most straightforward manner possible for accessing such scripts, if you do not want to switch keyboard layouts. All computer system use a similar mechanism. It even has a Favorites section where you can store characters you want to use frequently so you can avoiding looking them up each time. If you have some specific problems using it, I'd be glad to help, here or by email (click on my name for the address).
    Am I correct in these assumptions?
    No, I think all of them are wrong myself.

  • How to make my iPOD display thai fonts for thai songs?

    Hi,
    I'm Thai customer bought ipod nano from authorized dealer and I wonder why my iPOD cannot display thai fonts in music play list. How to solve this problem?

    Thank you for your advice. I just take a look and
    didn't see Thai language in my iPOD -*- hope to see
    some update to solve this problem from iPOD
    asia/thailand
    The language capabilities of the iPod are clearly stated in the tech specs for the product:
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
    The languages for song display are more than just those for the interface.
    Nobody knows if or when Apple will come out with new iPods that expand this to include languages like Thai, Arabic, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Hindi, etc.

  • Displaying TTF Fonts Issue with Microsoft VM

    Anyone:
    I have a Java 2D design tool that adds text to the graphic design. I implemented the use of TTF Fonts using the Family Name of the fonts. It works just fine for a user running the designer applet with the Sun JRE.
    However, a user that is using the designer applet with Microsoft VM is unable to display the font changes. All of the fonts are installed in the Microsoft/Fonts folder and the fonts all work fine with Sun JRE, but do not change at all using the Microsoft VM.
    Does anyone have any experience with this and how to get the fonts to display correctly for both the Sun JRE and the Microsoft VM users?
    Thanks...Scott

    Yes...I know the Microsoft VM has gone away...but only recently and only Sun is available for new machines. If everyone was running Sun I wouldn't have a problem here...but unfortunately a lot of my customers are running the Microsoft VM and I need a solution to the issue.
    I have to believe that even though compatibility ended way back in the dark ages...the Microsoft VM has a way of using the fonts installed in the Microsoft/Fonts folder...which is not happening. The Sun JRE is using the fonts in the folder...but the Microsoft VM is not...
    So I need someone that knows what needs to happen to get the Microsoft VM to use the fonts installed on the local machine.
