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~

Titlebar on Solaris does not display Japanese characters

I have a Java Swing application (running on 1.6.0_06) that sets Japanese characters on the titlebar of Dialogs. The Japanese characters display correctly when the application runs on Windows but displays as ? when run under Solaris.
Details of the Solaris environment:
Japanese Solaris (UTF-8 encoding)
Japanese locale (ja_JP)
Using an X server that has the required font support (because Japanese characters display correctly everywhere except in the titlebar)
Using CDE as the session manager (and I think dtwn is the window manager used by CDE)
The funny thing is that the Japanese characters display correctly when I use the JDE session manager instead of CDE, so the problem exists only with CDE and the Open Look interface as well. I tried setting the required resources for WMShell too but that didn't work.
I seem to be missing some CDE configuration somewhere as the window manager is not able to figure out that the title is non-C locale.
Any pointers or help in this regard would be appreciated.

You're probably viewing the website in the wrong character set.
Try View > Character Encoding > some Japanese encodings, or UTF8 or 16
The website itself should specify the encoding. The default encoding - in Options > Content - is only used if the website doesn't specify an encoding. Maybe the website you're looking at specifies the wrong encoding.

Itunes not displaying asian characters correctly

my song collection tags will display just fine when i'm just browsing files through finder.
however, when i import these songs to itunes, characters are all garbled up when it is in asian characters like korean and japanese..
is there a way to fix this?
in windows machine this is not a problem.

Same issue going on for me. Like daskaea said, it doesn't show up in the album grid, but shows up fine everywhere else. I personally am encountering this issue for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
Attempts to clear the name and re-enter it manually also do not work.
Anyone have any ideas?

[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?

Works here:
URxvt*depth: 32

URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color
URxvt.font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12:antialias=false
urxvt.imLocale: pl_PL.ISO8859-2
What's the output of 'localectl'?

[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 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.

JFileChooser does not display japanese file names

Hi,
I am trying to pick up data from an excel sheet and insert them into a database. However, once updated, they end up with '?' values.
I have tried to make font.properties.ja as the default font.properties file, which failed to display Japanese characters.
Any suggestions?
This is a part of my code:
String sJIS = "";
sJIS = new String(cell1.getStringCellValue().getBytes("8859_1"), "JISAutoDetect");
String sUTF = "";
sUTF = new String(cell1.getStringCellValue().getBytes(), "UTF-16");
System.out.println("sUTF" + sUTF + " " + "sJIS" + sJIS);
Thanks,

Display Japanese characters on Applet

Hi All,
I am able to display Japanese Characters on my Applet locally(Windows 2000 - US) by overwriting the font.properties content with the one in font.properties.ja found in JRE/LIB directory of my Jdeveloper JDK. When I deploy the applet on 9ias server which is configured for UTF8 charset I get squares wherever I have Japanese characters.
Appreciate if someone could tell the procedures to make the applet to recognize the Japanese/UTF8 characters and display accordingly.

I have read some documentation on JDBC thin drivers and they have mentioned that whenever JDBC retreives data from a database it converts it to Unicode 1.2 and I am already retreiving data from a UTF 8 database. The reason I think this is true is because I can display japanese characters locally on my windows machine by overwriting the font.properties in the JDevelopers- JDK- JRE - LIB folder by font.properties.ja
There must be some way to test why it is showing squares for japanese characters when I deploy it on the server. May be not getting the MS Gothic font used to display Japanese?
Looks like updating all the code is not feasible at this point as the code currently stores the data in Vectors and we can't perform a vector.getBytes(). Any help will be really appreciated.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

What value i have to set in Client to display Japanese characters?

Hello,
I had the same problem as you have:
Loading japanese and chinese data
two steps are necessary:
1) On XP: Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages tab: aktivate
"install files for ost asian languages" (you need the winxp install cd!!!)
2) Run your select statement from SQL*Plus, iSQL*Plus or SQLDeveloper

[SOLVED] Qt Applications not recognizing japanese characters

When I run Qt applications (goldendict, anki) and open a file browser from within the application itself, file names with Japanese characters in them (醤字.txt) don't get read and the file is "invisible". I don't have any problems when I launch a file browser from the terminal or via cinnamon. I read the arch wiki page on Qt, but wasn't able to find anything that helped. Also, I have a thread about XTerm not reading Japanese characters or being able to take Japanese input, so, not sure if it's related or not. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

ITunes does not display Cyrillic characters correctly in Windows 7 Starter

I try to copy my songs from iTunes (9.0 running Mac OS X 10.6 Russian interface language) with tags containing Cyrillic characters (song name, artist, etc.) into iTunes 9.1 (russian interface) on netbook running Windows 7 Starter English. I do it via Home sharing option in iTunes.
Some songs with Russian titles displayed OK, but some of them display wrong characters (see attached screenshot).
