How to show Greek characters in Italic style

How to show Greek characters in Italic style
Hi all, I'm tryng to resolve a problem with the Greek characters
I need to display labels in two languages, english or greek inside my report.
At the beginning of the report I have a placeholder with the xml code : *<?param@begin:p_language?>*, so I can understand inside my report if the user chose the Greek or English, and then I have many placeholders (labels) which have to be written in Greek or English.
If the language chosen is English, I don't have any problem to show my labels bold or italic in every fonts
Inside the placeholder I wrote the following code:
*<?xdofx:if $p_language = 'Ελληνικά' then 'Οργανισμός' else if $p_language = 'Αγγλικά' then 'Organization' end if?>*
I can chose font, style and bold/not bold directly from Word and when I run the report in pdf I see exactly what I chose.
If the language chosen is Greek....I see always the label in Arial, NOT BOLD and NOT ITALIC...
In order to see Greek characters BOLD:
a) I added (under the ADMIN tab/Runtime Configuration/Font Mappings/ ) a font named Arial and I addeda target Font named Arialbd.ttf under the directory: D:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\BIP_101341\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
b) I changed the font (from word) to Arial
Now, ONLY with tha ARIAL font I can see my labels in greek bold, but I can't still see them in italic style.....
So, I tried to force these condition inside the placeholder with the following code:
*<?if:$p_language = 'Ελληνικά'?><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font">Times New Roman</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-style">Italic</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="color">red</xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="inlines" name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>Οργανισμός<?end if?>*
...but I continue to see the labels in Greek only bold, red but not in Italic Style......
Also adding another font called Arialbi.ttf (Arial bold Italic)...I can't see my labels in Greek bold with Italic Style....
Anybody had the same problem with another alphabet different from the latin one ???
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply.However I still have some problems.
I couldnt get jpdk 3.0.9.0.4 version the latest version that I

Showing greek characters with accents

Hello everybody,
I've an applet developed using swing where I've to show some greek text. The problem is that I can see the standard greek characters but I cannot see those characters with accents or spirits.
The document that contains the text is a DefaultStyledDocument and, right now, I've configured it in this way:
          Style normal_style = this.addStyle("normal", null);
          StyleConstants.setFontFamily(normal_style, "lucida");
          this.setParagraphAttributes(0, 0, normal_style, false);
I've used the lucida family since I've read that family is able to render the greek but any character with an accent is rendered with a small rectangle.
I upload the text from a text file encoded using utf8. The example text is the following:
Κύκλου τμήματος δοθέντος προσαναγράψαι τὸν κύκλον,οὗπέρ ἐστι τμῆμα.
Ἔστω τὸ δοθὲν τμῆμα κύκλου τὸ ΑΒΓ· δεῖ δὴ τοῦ ΑΒΓ τμήματος προσαναγράψαι τὸν κύκλον, οὗπέρ ἐστι τμῆμα.
Τετμήσθω γὰρ ἡ ΑΓ δίχα κατὰ τὸ Δ, καὶ ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Δ σημείου τῇ ΑΓ πρὸς ὀρθὰς ἡ ΔΒ, καὶ ἐπεζεύχθω ἡ ΑΒ· ἡ ὑπὸ ΑΒΔ γωνία ἄρα τῆς ὑπὸ ΒΑΔ ἤτοι μείζων ἐστὶν ἢ ἴση ἢ ἐλάττων.
Also, when I save this text using my application my new saved file still contains the correct characters with the accent and all the stuff.
The problems seems to be just the rendering in the application...
Any idea?

How to see Greek characters inside a PDF report (made with XML Publisher)

Hi,
I just patched my e Business Suite (ver. 11.5.9) in order to use XML Publisher 5.6.3.
It works fine, but I have a big problem when I want to see Greek characters inside my report; instead to see the Greek characters I see only '?????'
I tried to add some font under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility following the Doc ID: 373377.1 "How To Install a Font Using XML Publisher Administrator", but my problem remains: I don't see my Greek characters
Do I need to add any other fonts on the file system ? and where ? (under which path), or I set something at the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility level (under the Administration link) ?
Any help will be appreciated, because it's very urgent to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Alex,
Please verify the value of $AF_CLASSPATH variable and make sure that JRE_TOP/lib/fonts is part of this env variable (in addition to $CLASSPATH).

Administrator (ver.10.1.2.48.18) doesn't show greeks characters correctly

Hi everybody,
I re-install on my new pc, from the file as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip the following version of Discoverer Administrator: 10.1.2.48.18
I need to see both English and Greek languages and when I installed the software (from the installer) I chose both these language.
Inside the registry I have the following NLS_LANG: GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253
So, now my problem is this: when I open the Administrator, after the credentials (login, etc...) and I try to open a business area, if this last one is written with greek characters I see black rectangles, but once opened I see the correct label in Greek.
But all the Hierarchies' and summaries' labels are black rectangles (if written in Greek) as the formulas inside the new items.....
On the file system I added the following fonts:
ALBANWTJ.ttf
ALBANWTK.ttf
ALBANWTS.ttf
ALBANWTT.ttf
ALBANYWT.ttf
under the paths:
1. C:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\OBI_Tools_10g\jre\1.4.2\lib\fonts
2. C:\Oracle\Oracle_Homes\OBI_Tools_10g\jdk\jre\lib\fonts
3. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_15\lib\fonts
but my problem didn't still resolve
Anybody had the same problem with another language (russian, chinese for example) ???
Any help or hint will be appreciated

How to show Special Characters like (∠) in an Embedded text field

I want to show some special characters like (∠). It is working fine if we don't embed the text field. But I want to use superscript and subscript font, so I have to embed that dynamic text field. When I embedd the texfield it does not show me the (∠) symbol. Instead it shows me a square symbol. Please let me know how can I solve this problem. My project is nearly finish except for this part.
Thanks in advance
Salim

Yes, I know we need to include the symbols. But I am unable to include it. Whenever I click on embed option and paste the symbol (∠) in the include these characters box, it appears as a square symbol. This is driving me nuts.
I even tried to embed All (54665 glyphs). But this is not working either.
Has anyone faced this problem before?

How to show 250 characters in a single line.

Hi,
How do I store 250 characters in an infoobject? (An Infoobject can be of 60 characters only)
I can certainly store using 5 different infoobjects but my requirment is that the text should be visible in a single line while executing a report.
Regards
Augustine

Hello!
here is a solution from previous posts.
You may want to try this workaround:
"Create two 60 CHAR length InfoObjects and adding them as attributes to the InfoObject you originally created (say ZIO_1). Populate long texts (in your case, up to 100 CHAR) to the master data of ZIO_1. You need to make ZIO_1 values unique. That works for me where I need to store up to 480 CHAR for comments"- Bill Wu
and a link to one more thread
Re: Bypass 60 char limit
hope this helps

The final solution to greek characters in AWT applets(????)

OK. I have searched the whole web and asked whoever I knew. The question was simple: How do I show greek characters in a TextField in an AWT Applet? Some people said that I should change the font properties inside MY jre/lib installation but then I want EVERYONE and not just ME seeing the greek characters! Adding a greek font into the applet's jar was another "solution" but who wants to have an applet of about 2MBs? So I think I have come up to the answer ... ONLY with jre > 1.4.0 somebody could handle greek characters in AWT Applets without trooble! If somebody has managed to show and handle greek characters in a TextField inside an AWT Applet (which I doubt), I would like to know EXACTLY HOW as I am tired of non-working "solutions"! I hope this post saves you from a lot of time searching for the HolyGrail

I haven't worked with a TextField but I worked with a JTextField. My solution wasn't very straightforward but it did the job.
I used this solution in order to work with linux, but you must add an if
statement to check the OS.
If your problem was how to view Greek characters in a non internation version of
Java, then as far as I know, you cannot! Also JDK 1.3.1_01 and j2re 1.4.0_01
use a different way of loading system fonts, so with the latter you cannot use system fonts unless you put them in you java directory.
(I use linux so don't be surprissed if these work different in windows)
import java.io.*;
public class JTextFieldGr extends javax.swing.JTextField {
public JTextFieldGr() {
super();
myInit();
public JTextFieldGr(String text) {
super(text);
myInit();
public void myInit() {
addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyListener() {
public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
try{
String tmp=""+evt.getKeyChar();
String uk=new String(tmp.getBytes(),"ISO-8859-7");
evt.setKeyChar(uk.charAt(0));
}catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
}

How to show more than one record at a form-like style report?

Hi All,
I developed a form-like style report
I want it to show more than one record at once (At the same page)
I tried that by setting the value to "Maximum records per page" property for the repeating frame to 10
but when I close the property palete and open it agian the value is returned to 1 !!!
how to show more than one record at the same page?????
Thank u

Hi,
there's perhaps another property like "page protect". If than 2 records didn't fit at one page there's a page break. Or is there any object inside the repeating frame with page-break properties? Sorry .. it's like looking into a chrystal ball ...
Regards

You could just try changing your Input Sources under System Preferences>Language & Text:
But I kind of doubt that's going to work. It may be a hardware problem or a system problem. If you take it into Apple they might be able to determine which and might advise a reinstallation of System software. I would take it to an Apple Store or an AASP but, first, make sure that you have a backup just in case they suggest a clean install of the system.
Good luck,

How do I insert Greek characters from the character viewer in Lion?

In Lion, the Character Viewer shows many more options for different characters than SL. Of course, it displays Latin, but, as I scientist I often need to insert Greek characters, but I cannot find Greek characters in the Character Viewer. I don't otherwise need to select Greek as a language. Inserting Greek characters from some applications like MS Word still works.
And ... while I'm here ... what happened to the "insert" button? -j
