Displaying Japanese subtitles correctly

Hello,
I have an issue getting Japanese subtitles on a streaming video to display correctly.
Here is the video I would like to see with Japanese subtitles.
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/jpn/tan_le_a_headset_that_reads_your_brainwaves.html
I am using Ubuntu Linux 10.04, and when I checked the version of Flash Player, it
said LNX. Also it specified my OS as Linux 2.6.32-24.
The problem is the same in both Google Chromium and Mozilla Firefox. The Japanese
subtitles are displayed as little boxes instead of real characters.
I just checked to see if I could display subtitles in other languages, and they work,
such as French, Russian, etc. Chinese didn't work.
Could someone assist me with this problem?
Thank you.

I can see the Japanese subtitles just fine
but then I am using Windows, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
What is your Flash Player version (you just wrote LNX)?
Is your Linux a Japanese version?
If not, do you have Asian character support installed?
(Sorry, I don't use Linux, so my questions may be irrelevant.)

I cannot display Japanese correctly.

I cannot display Japanese correctly.
I have some problems for displaying Japanese.
1. Not displayed Hankaku Katakana(8bit Katakana).
2. Not displayed Japanese when I used the ScrollableResultSet.
for example,
Stmt = con.prepareStatement( pcSQL, TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, CONCUR_READ_ONLY );
rs = Stmt.executeQuery();
String strName = rs.getString( "EMP_NAME" );
txtName.setText( strName );
===> the result is displayed in Textfield
"0x42415454EFBD..."
When I didn't use the ScrollableResultSet, the result was correct.
for example,
Stmt = con.prepareStatement( pcSQL );
Please help me.
Thanks.

I got the same question when using the Scrollable ResultSet. I can not solve it myself till now. and also need help.

[Bug Report] CR4E V2: Exported PDF displays Japanese characters incorrectly

We now plan to transport a legacy application from VB to Java with Crystal Reports for Eclipse. It is required to export report as PDF file, but result PDFs display Japanese characters incorrectly for field with some mostly used Japanese fonts (MS Gothic & Mincho).
Here is our sample Crystal Reports project: [download related resources here|http://sites.google.com/site/cr4eexportpdf/example-of-cr4e-export-pdf]
1. PDFExportSample.rpt located under ..\src contains fields with different Japanese fonts.
2. Run SampleViewerFrameClient#main(..) to open a Java Report Viewer:
    a) At zoom rate 100%, everything is ok.
    b) Change zoom rate to 200% or 50%, some fields in Japanese font collapse.
    c) Export to PDF file,
         * Fonts "MS Gothic & Mincho": both ASCII & Japanese characters failed.
         * Fonts "Meiryo & HGKyokashotai": everything works well.
         * Open PDF properties, you will see all fonts are embedded with built-in encoding.
         * Interest to note that copy collapsed Japanese characters from Acrobat Reader, then
           paste them into a Notepad window, Notepad will show the correct Japanese characters anyway.
           It seems PDF export in CR4E mistaking to choose right typeface for Japanese characters
           from some TTF file.
3. Open PDFExportSample.rpt in Crystal Report 2008 Designer (trial version), and export it as PDF.
    The result PDF displays both ASCII & Japanese characters without any problem.
Test environment as below:
* Windows XP Professional SP3 (Japanese) with MS Office which including extra fonts (i.e. HGKyokashotai)
* Font version: MS Gothic, Mincho, Meiryo, all in Version 5.0
    You can download MS Meiryo from Microsoft's Site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=F7D758D2-46FF-4C55-92F2-69AE834AC928&displaylang=en)
* Eclipse 3.5.2
* Crystal Reports for Eclipse, V2, 12.2.207.r916
Can this problem be fixed? If yes how long will it take to release a patch?
We really looking forward to a solution before abandoning CR4E.
Thanks for any reply.

I have created a [simple PDF file|http://sites.google.com/site/cr4eexportpdf/inside-the-pdf/simple.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1] exported from CR4E. It is expected to display "漢字" (or in unicode as "\u6F22\u5B57"), but instead being rendered in different ones of "殱塸" (in unicode as "\u6BB1\u5878").

Is it any help? I am looking forward to any solution.

Problem in Swing tree root node when displaying Japanese

I'm trying to create a tree using DefaultTreeModel. The root node will display text in Japanese and the other child nodes are in English. My problem is the root node fails to show Japanese correctly (only squares are shown).
I've already set my font.properties.ja to display Japanese font for virtual font "dialog":
dialog.plain.0=Arial,ANSI_CHARSET
dialog.plain.1=\uff2d\uff33 \u30b4\u30b7\u30c3\u30af,SHIFTJIS_CHARSET
dialog.plain.2=WingDings,SYMBOL_CHARSET,NEED_CONVERTED
dialog.plain.3=Symbol,SYMBOL_CHARSET,NEED_CONVERTED
And I've checked the "Tree.font" of UIManager is:
Tree.font = javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource[family=dialog,name=Dialog,style=plain,size=12]
I'm quite sure that my font.properties.ja is correct as all message dialogs in my app. shows Japanese correctly (also using the same dialog font).
I got stuck. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks in advance.

Error message from Adobe Reader. cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly. Print looks like gibberish

Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

Try Adobe support, that's not a Firefox support issue. <br />

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

FCP X doesn't display iMovie clips correctly in Event Library

I have 10 years of clips that are setup by year/date in iMovie. Although I had imported most of the media in 2009, iMovie seems smart enough to read the actual file metadata and find the media recording date, which is prior to the import date. As a result, the clips are diplayed correctly in iMovie Event by Year/Month of actual recording.
However, the Event Library in FCP X doesn't do that at all and lists the events by "Content Creation" date, which is simply reads from the system file date, and NOT the recording date that is embedded into the file.
Bottom line is that Event Library is semi-useless as it doesn't all at display my clisp in the correct order, unlike iMovie that was doing it correctly.
Any ideas?

I went into Finder and discovered that FCP X created a directory structure where the files are in the correct Year/Month directory structure (as an exact mirror directory structure as the iMovie one), so it's even more weird that the Event Library doesn't display the events correctly???

Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

Hi,
We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9. Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
Let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks!

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!
Regards.

Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
Error message is :
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
- All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
- the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
The solution :
- to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
- is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
Thx,
Regards

Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
Here are the sections I deleted:
Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
I did leave the entourage settings though.
hope it helps someone with a similar issue.

Problems displaying a pdf correctly (both with preview and adobe reader)

Hey guys,
I've been having problems with displaying lecture notes (pdf files) correctly. It doesn't matter if I use preview or adobe reader.
Can anyone please help me out?
thanks a lot in advance,
Simon

Hi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf: http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks!

[Solved] URXVT cannot display Japanese Characters

Solved:
I had a typo in my locale.conf, setting to an invalid locale - apparently that did it.
Thanks for the help!
Hi everybody!
I just now re-installed Arch because I switched hard-drives (to an SSD) and everything seems to be working again, apart from one thing:
urxvt doesn't display Japanese Characters, just questionmarks instead when using ls and garbage characters otherwise.
I literally copied and pasted my ~/.Xresources from my old install, so I'm not quite sure what went wrong.
This is said file:
Urxvt.urgentOnBell: True
urxvt*cursorBlink: false
!urxvt*internalBorder: 0
!urxvt*externalBorder: 0
URxvt*.depth: 32
URxvt*.background: [85]#000000
! URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt.foreground: grey
! red
URxvt.color1: #CC0000
URxvt.color9: #B33838
! blue
URxvt.color4: #3465A4
URxvt.color12: #729FCF
! yellow
Urxvt.color3: #b48363
URxvt.color11: #d49b4e
!URxvt.font: 8x13
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=8:antialas=true,xft:Kochi Gothic:size=8
This is what fc-list has to say:
% fc-list | grep "Kochi\|DejaVuSansMono"
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf: Kochi Mincho,æ±é¢¨ææ:style=Regular,æ¨æº
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/kochi-gothic-subst.ttf: Kochi Gothic,æ±é¢¨ã´ã·ãã¯:style=Regular,æ¨æº
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique
I already tried re-installing the fonts and I also tried out alternative fonts, but nothing seems to work.
All the other settings from the ~/.Xresources file are applied perfectly, so I'm not quite sure where to look for the error.
My browser (dwb) displays japanese characters just fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Edit: I just realized that urxvt seems to completely ignore the fonts line - I had that problem once before, when I used the AMD Catalyst driver and not the open source one.
I now have an Nvidia card and started using the propietary driver - maybe that has something to do with it?

Problem in displaying Japanese characters on the browser.

Hi Friends,
Hope one of you could help me in this!!
We are using SHIFT_JIS character encoding in our jsps to display Japanese characters.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=SHIFT_JIS" %>
Is there any other configuration required on server side to let the Japanese characters being displayed? Because what I am getting on screen is quite annoying. Well something like below.
?V?M???????�
Even though my knowledge in Japs isn't too good :-)) I can understand that these are not Japanese. I believe I am missing something in terms of server side configuration, Can anybody point that out. (Maybe some of the Japanese developers in here).
This could not be a client side issue, since from the same machine I can access other Japanese sites and they display properly. Let me know if anybody can help.
I am running these in WAS 5.0
Thanks,
King

Your text in the JSP should be UTF-8 nevertheless - as would be ideal
for internationalization. Java comes with a command-line conversion tool
native2ascii which is bidirectional.
As non-Japanese I am not certain whether "SJIS" might not be better (there
are some name variations in java).
The HTML generation will translate these characters to SHIFT_JIS in your case.
Where the target encoding cannot handle the intended character it receives a
question mark - hat you saw.
Furthermore you need a proper font in HTML and under Windows (window title).
Your webserver should have east-asian support. Though Japanese (and English)
are standard, I, as non-japanese am not certain about SHIFT_JIS.
Also there is some freedom in choice for a japanese encoding.

Displaying Japanese

I have an application that I am trying to display Japanese on. I also have a clock, that when I change the Locale, the months change to that languages month (say March becomes Mars..etc). Java dictates what is to be displayed for the date depending on the Locale. When I change it to Japanese, I see the numbers ok, but any text shows up as Boxes. This applies to both Windows and Linux. I added a combo box that allows me to change the font to any installed font, and none of the fonts display the Japanese Characters. Any Ideas on how I can get this working?

Two questions:
Do you have the multilingual version of java ?
Do you have Japanese fonts on your computer ? (Use my code at http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=402985&tstart=0&trange=15 to see what fonts are available to java.)

ITunes not displaying Japanese characters...

Ever since a few days ago, iTunes stopped displaying Japanese characters for any of the songs that have them. They display right on the iPod and on my computer, and even if I re-type them, they continue being boxes. But if I copy and paste a section of cubes and paste it into Google Chrome or anything else, they show up just fine...
Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks~

Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly.

I am currently using Adobe Reader version 9.1.3. When I open certain files, it displays the following message, "Cannot extract the embeded font 'KDGXKF+TTF5BC9A0t00'.Some characters may not display or print correctly". Some fonts are actually missing and will not display when printing. I have tried updating adobe but the problem still persists. Under file properites, the following font TTF5BC9A0t00 is recognised by Adobe as true type and custom encoding. Anyone has any suggestions for fix??

BUT, does it say "embedded" or "embedded subset" next to the font name. If not, the font isn't included in the file and if you don't have it, it can't display or print it.
The file creator will need to embed the fonts properly although "some" fonts don't allow embedding. This could be one of them.
