Japanese fonts in osx-java

I am having a lot of trouble displaying japanese through a java app on osx.
I have been told that the problem lies in the fact that there is not utf-8 japanese font set yet on my machine, yet the only info I could find about this mentions only windows and solaris.
Did I miss something ?
I am using jaguar, set up this morning, with the 1.0.2 version of omegaT, an app for translators.
Thank you in advance for all your suggestions and hints.
Jean-Christophe Helary

all the fonts you mention are installed properly.
the technical context is the following, although i am not sure what i describe is what you expect, since i am not a specialist.
i work with mac os10.2.
i have downloaded a java app, called omegaT, that takes an utf-8 files splits it into paragraphs and allows for the input of a text in a different language.
there is no font selection possibility on the app. Neither a menu no a preference panel.
when i create a japanese file that i encode in utf-8 and try to have it displayed in the app the following happens:
1) the file browsing window does not display names of japanese files properly. they are displayed as squares.
2) once the file is open all its contents is displayed as squares
i tried to check how other java apps dealt with similar issues. i found a text editor/encodning convertor called SimRedo.
i opened an utf-8 encoded japanese file and the following happend:
1) the file browsing window does not display names of japanese files properly. they are displayed as squares.
2) once the file is open its title is displayed properly in the title bar
3) all its contents is displayed as squares
4) once a font has been selected the contents is displayed properly as japanese.
my conclusion is that:
1) there is an obvious lack of connection between java apps and system fonts. i would like to know how to make this link. i checked sun info (java internationalization) about installing new fonts but the info does not seem to be relevant to an osx setting: they mention a font.properties file that does not seem to be on my system. and if it were to be, the place where i should create one is not explicit.
2) i could ask omegaT's developper to offer a font selection to solve the issue (considering that i don't know much about java programming i am not even sure it is appropriate for his app)
i hope the technical context is clearer now. if anybody can give me hints i would appreciate.
sincerly,
jean-christophe helary

Crystal Reports 2008 export to PDF does not render Japanese fonts

Hello,
I have searched the forums for this issue, and there does not seem to be a clear resolution to this problem. We are using CR2008 to create RPT files that are bundled with our custom .NET 2005 application, which then generates reports in PDF format by running the RPT files against an access mdb database using the CR2008 runtime (our application is deployed on a different machine than the one that is used to create the RPT files). The issue we are having occurs when data in the access mdb file contains Strings with Japanese characters. The system that our application is running on does contain the eastern asian language fonts so if a user opens the mdb file using access, they can see the Unicode strings in the database rendered properly (rather than the usual boxes and garbage). However, once our application generates the report filling in the rpt file with data from the mdb and exporting the report to pdf format, the entries that should contain Japanese font data, which leads me to believe the problem is in the export pdf function of the crystal reports 2008 runtime. Is there anyway we can configure the runtime to properly embed the fonts in the PDF so that the users can view the Japanese content from the database. Our users end up viewing reports on both OSX and Windows using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for the quick reply!
1) Exact version of Crystal Reports. (Open Crystal Developer. Go to Help> About Crystal Reports).
12.0.0.683
Type: Full
2) What happens if you export the report to PDF format from the standalone Crystal Reports Designer?
Same result. The entry shows up as giberish in the report designer preview...however, by doing this I stumbled upon something. See below
3) Are you able to export the report to other formats without any issue?
See Note below
NOTE:
In another part of the report, I just put the fields in question directly in the report (that is, not embedded in a text object). That part of the report when run produces the correct non-gibberish, properly rendered Japanese result (in the CR designer preview). The same field, however, when embedded in a text object, results in the gibberish being shown in the designer preview as well.
Now when I export this to PDF, that ends up turning both areas into the incorrect, gibberish result. Both the one that did properly render in the preview (field not embedded in text object) and the one in the text object.
Exporting to any other format (tried xls, rtf and html) results in correct rendering for the field not embedded in the text object and incorrect rendering for the field embedded in a text object.
Hope this helps with the problem, and I think it means this thread probably still belongs under this current forum.
Cheers

Cannot display japanese font/character in WTK22

Hi guys,
I followed this http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Java/J2ME_and_Unicode/ instructions but I stil cannot display the japanese character on the screen both with eclipe and wtk22.
What seems to be missing with my application? Do I have to install japanese font - if yes please provide steps on how to install or add this property...I've tried to add fonts on the FONTS system of windows but it seems that nothing happens...
Thanks in advance...
psyeu

have you done this steps...
...Now with the new fonts installed go to home directory of the Sun Wireless ToolKit, and go into
the directory wtkdevices. Now copy DefaultColorPhone and paste in the same directory
renamed to UnicodePhone. Also, rename the properties file under the UnicodePhone
directory to UnicodePhone.properties. Next, using any editor open the
UnicdoePhone.properties file and find the font section. It should look similar to the...page 2 of the tutorial !

Japanese font problem fixed.

The Japanese font problem was fixed in the recent update. The Kaku Gothic font now shows in the correct font-weight.
Only Kaku Std which is a fat font is still a bit fat, but that's how it is.

(the first three danger signs have been fixed)

where exactly u r using the japenese charecters??
r u using inthe Java programme or r u using in html page.

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.

Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters. I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X. The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page. Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...." The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese. Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there. Here are the fonts listed:
BellGothicStd-Bold
FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
FuturaBT-Book
FuturaBT-BookItalic
FuturaBT-Light
FuturaBT-LightItalic
Helvetica
KozMinPr6N-Regular
ZaphDingbats
ZaphDingbatsItCbyBT-Regular
Thanks again!

Problem with Acrobat 8.12 keeps trying to install Japanese Font Pack

I have a client who received a pdf file and when she opened it she was told that it needed the Japanese Font Pack. I gave her admin rights but it still keeps doing it. My pc with the same setup works perfectly fine with the offending file. Now everytime she opens any PDF it tries to open the offending file first and load the font pack. I was able to go into the registry and remove the keys that mention the file and Acrobat works fine as long as we do not try and open that file again. We have installed the font pack separately. The offending file opens fine in Reader. Any idea why this would keep happening and if there is a solution to stop it from happening. Thank you.

Actually, since I started getting the security warning, I haven't tried it on another machine. You think this information might be only stored on my machine? It's worth trying... Thanks!

Displaying Japanese Fonts Problem

I am attempting to edit a RH7 HTML project created in Japanese.
I have Japanese fonts installed and the page displays correctly in the Design window. However, the fonts do not display correctly in the TOC window. Typically, 演算設定選択ワークフローブロック displays correctly on the page and in the Topic Title field looks like ‰‰ŽZÝ’è‘I‘ðƒ[ƒNƒtƒ[ƒuƒƒbƒN in the TOC. Whilst I can understand neither, the end user might notice.
Does anyone know why please.

Steve

I would advice you to install a new mid tier with Japanese language.

[SOLVED] Cannot get japanese fonts working in console

First time with Arch. Did a clean install yesturday with Plasma as my choice of GUI.
I have everything work, except for getting Japanese font support in consoles.
First, fonts worked inside Dolphin, but looked terrible. So I added the infinality repos and installed infinality-bundle, infinality-bundle-multilib, ibfonts-meta-base, and ibfonts-meta-extended.
This was probably overkill, but fonts look perfect in both my file manager and applications, but still no support in console, konsole, uxterm, or yakuake terminals.
Then I made sure both "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" inside of /etc/locale.gen were uncommended and then ran "locale-gen" as root to generate the locales. After a reboot the fonts still wont work, the appear as ? in console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After a lot of messing around, I finally got it to work.
Not only did "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" need to uncommented, but also "en_US.ISO-8859-1" and "ja_JP.EUC-JP".
Running "sudo locale-gen" then returned:
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
ja_JP.EUC-JP... done
ja_JP.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
As expected. Oddly enough, the output of "locale" has not changed at all, but now japanese fonts show up correctly in shell and terminals, even without a reboot!

Default Japanese font setting in Linux

Hi,
I'm using flashplayer in Debian/Ubuntu, and default Japanese font setting in flash is kind of crap...
It seems that Kochi font should be installed. Kochi (東風) font is very old and it is not used so much
as 10 years ago Now Linux users use VLGothic or IPAGothic as Japanese font by default.
My question is,
- How users can change default font setting?
- Where/who is the contact address for this issiue?
#I'm also maintainer for most of Japanese font packages in Debian/Ubuntu. In my opinion, Kochi
should be dropped in near future (see package description)

If you don't hear anything about this issue within a few days, please send a PM to http://forums.adobe.com/people/libflashplayer.so and/or http://forums.adobe.com/people/chris.campbell with a link to this topic.

Hi.
I carrier is AT&T but I downloaded EastAsian Language pack from Hong Kong CSL.
When you complete the download, Go to "Start" - "My Computer" - "C:" - "Program Files" - "Common Files" - "Research In Motion" - "AppLoader" - delete "Vender.xml".Then, open the "Loader.exe" and connect Bold to PC.
When you reach to "Device application selection" page, you will see "Japanese Romaji Input Method" Check "Japanese Romaji Input Method" under the "East Asian Language and Input Support" section.
Please let me know if the above works for you.

Unable to View Japanese Fonts in Reader

A conundrum I just can't resolve:
I have two computers, both running XP Pro.
I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site (version 8.1.2) and installed to both computers.
I have a PDF with some Japanese fonts in them.
When I open the PDF on computer 1, initially the PDF appears to display a row of dots where the Japanese text should be. Within seconds however, a prompt appears informing me that I must download a font pack to be able to display the text. I agree to the download, and it commences and installs automatically. I then have to restart Reader, upon which I can now view the Japanese fonts. Perfect.
However, on computer 2, although the same operations take place, the Japanese fonts never appear - only a row of dots.
I have tried uninstalling Reader and re-downloading and reinstalling. I have also tried manually downloading the Japanese font pack and installing it, with no change.
Any ideas?

Hmm - this is very unusual. I have installed the Japanese font pack on countless computers, and I have never seen such a problem.
If I were to experience this problem, I would try the following
- uninstall the font pack from Add/Remove Programs (Japanese Fonts Support For Adobe Reader)
- uninstall Adobe Reader
- reboot, if asked to
- reinstall Adobe Reader
- download the font pack from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html (make sure that the font pack version matches the reader version, i.e. font pack version 8 for reader 8.1.2)
- install the font pack
If all this still fails, then we'll have to come up with new ideas.

Unable install Japanese Font Pack to Win7 English

Dear Experts,
I need to install Japanese Font Package on Windoes 7 English, however I could not install the font pack FontPack1000_ja_JP.msi due to the error,
"This installer requires Adobe Reader X installed on your system. Please install Adobe Reader X before running this installer."
Even the latest Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 is already installed on the system...
Thank you in advance for your help.
Here is my pc sysinfo,
OS Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
Installed plug-ins:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins\Updater.api
    Version: 10.1.3.23
    Creation Date: 2012/04/04
    Creation Time: 2:53:52 PM
Best regards,

The Japanese Reader version already includes the Japanese fonts, so it is usable for this purpose. Is this workable for you, or would you still like to try installing the Japanese font pack with the English Reader version?
Hiro.Naka wrote:
Yes, it is installed as default installation, I don't know why it's not recognized.
I don't know that either; most likely it is some registry entry that is incorrectly set.
What I would try if I could not get the Japanese font pack installed with English Reader:
uninstall font pack and Reader
run the Acrobat Cleaner tool
reinstall Reader and font pack
If that does not work, then I have no more ideas.
