Java Russian Font

I'm trying to write an application that takes a .txt file and parses the lines into a text area. The text file is saved in Unicode format and contains both russian and english characters.
Currently, the application is reading the .txt file fine. I have the textArea set to display a cyrillic font. However, the text area will display what were english characters within the .txt file as russian (but not the correct russian characters - probably due to a keylayout problem), and fail to display the russian characters at all. (these show up as [] [] [] blotches instead)
It seems to me that Java uses a Font and a Keylayout to display characters from what I've observed. So, it might be that the russian characters are being displayed correctly but, with the wrong keylayout -in which those keys are botches... I'm not entirely sure though.
I've searched google for tutorials about displaying cyrillic font but can find none. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Addition: My applet prints out the following to the Java Console - don't know, if it has something to do with my Russian Problem:
Can't find bundle for base name sun.awt.windows.awtLocalization, locale de_DE
Using default MenuItem font

  • Deprecation warning for getFontMetrics(java.awt.Font) in java.awt.Toolkit

    Hi all,
    When I use the following code
    JComponent c;
    FontMetrics metrics = getToolkit().getFontMetrics(c.getFont());
    I get this following warning during compilation:-
    warning: getFontMetrics(java.awt.Font) in java.awt.Toolkit has been deprecated
    JDK suggests to use getLineMetrics() of the Font class.
    But there's an issue with that: if I use getLineMetrics(), there is no API method that I can use to get the width of a string as opposed to FontMetrics which provides stringWidth(String str) method for that purpose. In fact all the methods in FontMetrics are not mapped into LineMetrics.
    Could anyone please help or provide me at least some pointers on how to tackle this issue so that I can get rid of the deprecated method along with the existing methods mapped to equivalent APIs? The bottomline is that I should be able to maintain the existing functinality of my application for those part of code that uses getToolkit().getFontMetrics().
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Use Graphics.getFontMetrics(font) instead.
    After creation your frame and calling frame.show();
    You can access it like that
    frame.show();
    frame.getGraphics().getFontMetrics(new Font("Arial",0,10));
    before showing graphics is null.
    Or just create a BufferedImage and ask it for graphics.
    BufferedImage img=new BufferedImage(...);
    img.getGraphics().getFontMetrics(font);

  • Russian Font Problem

    I have installed Russian fonts on my IBM PC, but the characters are displayed as jibberish. The Russian language option does not appear in the Paragraph Designer > Language drop down menu. How do I resolve this issue? I am using FrameMaker 9. Thanks for any advice.

    FM displays the languages available using the appropriate language specific glyphs. For Russian use "русский" :
    Can you be specific by what you mean about the characters being jibberish? Which font are you using? What keyboard input method is being used? Can you read Russian in order to determine if the entries are correct?

  • Printing output incorrect with non Russian fonts

    I have tried all the ways with approximate all the device types.  
    We are getting the correct print preview of spool requests in SAP with Russian Fonts, It means that SAP is doing it work, but the printing output is wrong.  
    The device types (eg. HPUTF8, HPLJ5, ZPC2424S)  are printing correctly with other Printers like RU03, RU02, RU05 but not with RU07.  
    We have tried many windows drivers as well which were suggested by SAP.
    I have tried the below device types as well which are cyrillic compatible. For these device types print preview is coming fine but not printout.
    Cyrillic  |   I5SPOST     | Dfnlatin (note 83502)
    SAPWIN5     | Cyrillic, e.g. RU  |    Yes
    Below fonts are suitable for a given languages including Russian:.  
    * ISO 8859-5 (Cyrillic) ************ *******  
    BG, RU, SR, UK          COURCYR, HELVCYR, TIMECYR  
    While printing on
    RU07  the font should be only above ones not the FC OCRA.   FCTIMECYR 080 00060XSF201SF201410 200040R
    FCOCRA 120 00144 SF301SF301400100144 R
    Kindly suggest if any particular setting like device type, symbol set, printer driver suitable for this printer to print output correctly.
    Regards
    Munish

    This is normal printer HP laserjet p2055 dn printer.
    RU03, RU06, RU07  are sap printer names in ECC system.
    SAPSPrint server has names like mospr03, mospr06, mospr07.
    SAP is using access method S and pointing to host printer drivers like mospr07 in sapsprint windows server.
    It seems that either the printer driver on windows is incorrect in terms of printing from sap or there may be font problem in physical printer.

  • How to use Russian fonts?

    Hello everybody!
    Is there any change to use russian fonts in Labview 7. I am using Windows XP+SP1. I know that it's possible, somehow, but not managed to solve problem yet.
    Neuvos

    I have successfully used Russian Fonts in LV 7. There are two ways to go about this. The first way is to use an ini or config file to do the conversion for you. This way you can type russian into the file and read in the proper strings. The second way is to take the integer value of the character and type cast it to a string. You must have the russian font installed first before this will work. My example used the alphabet and converted it to Russian. I used the ER Univers 1251 font and used a for loop that will run 32 times and added the iteration terminal with the value of 192 for lower case and type cased each value into a string from an integer. For upper case letters add the iteration terminal with 224. This will display the Russian Alphabet. Hope this h
    elps.

  • Russian fonts in terminal application

    I cannot get terminal to print Russian fonts when I switch to the Russian language. I get the UTF-8 codes instead of the cyrillic characters. If I hit enter after typing a string of codes the terminal then prints the codes in cyrillic and displays an unrecognized command message. I'm using SWI-Prolog and I need to have the terminal display Russian characters. There is no choice for Russian in the terminal settings -- there are Chinese and Korean setttings. Help would be invaluable, since I now have to run Linux to get the terminal behavior I need. If Linux can do it, Mac must also be able to!

    Best ask this in the Unix forum:

  • Russian font displays as ????

    Hi,
    I am using Microsoft Exchange web mail. When i start using mac, all russian names and subjects in the browser is shown as ???.
    I don't have this problem when i am using windows with IE.
    What should i do to see correct russian font in by web-mail in Safari.

    HI,
    Web based mail... that's the problem. Apple has no control over the fonts they use, especially for a Microsoft based e-mail client.
    Keep in mind altering or modifying your fonts in the FontBook application stored in your Applications folder can result in Safari crashing.
    You could try this. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Select the box next to: Enable Show Develop menu in menu bar.
    Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Develop / User Agent. Try Internet Explorer version 8, 7, or 6.
    Note.. when you relaunch Safari it will default back to Safari 5.
    No guarantee that will work but worth a try.

    If you are talking about having Russian characters printed on the keyboard, Apple does make such machines, but you can't buy them everywhere.   Where are you?

    This is a user-defined variable called "Product"
    ?íôîðìàöèîííàÿ ñèñòåìà Xper Information Management
    It displays correctly in Arial CYR when I open the FM files, and I am using it in a paragraph format called "Footer," in which the font is set to Arial CYR, 8 pt.  It displayed correctly when I initially opened the file, but I had adjusted some of the paragraph formats in one of the other FM files in the book, and when I imported them into the second file, the characters no longer displayed correctly, although they still appear as Cyrillic characters in the original FM file from which I imported the formats.
    This also occurs with Chinese, Korean, and Central European fonts.  I've also noticed the problem with some of my cross-references and some of my other paragraph formats.  It's very odd, because one format will display correctly, while immediately below, another format will be scrambled.

  • OSX Java 6 vs Java 5 fonts changed?

    Finally I have Java 6 under OSX, but I noticed the fonts I use with Swing (jbuttons, jlabels etc) have changed, they are now much thinner somehow and difficult to read. Have there been major changes with font handling under OSX between 1.5 and 1.6? or some anti-aliasing changes? or something that would explain the ugly looking fonts.

    If you moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard (10.5 -> 10.6) then they have changed the system font from Monaco to Menlo.

  • Russian Font not Displaying

    Yes, I know that my version is painfully outdated, but it's
    what I have to work with. I have Russian text which displays fine
    in the browser, but when the file is opened in DW, the text turns
    to random characters. I tried changing the Document Encoding in the
    Page Properties with no success.

    there's a character that looks like an "h" with a cross that I'm pretty sure is not in the cyrillic alphabet.
    But it is: ћЋ U+045B and U+40B are used in Serbian.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SerbianCyrillicalphabet
    But I think that page is designed for a non-standard encoding anyway, "Academic Russian". You would need to download a special font to get correct results, and there is no guarantee such a font will work in Safari and other OS X apps because they are designed to use Unicode fonts, with other standard encodings being translated into that for display. If it doesn't work in Safari, sometimes you can make such custom fonts work in FireFox or Opera.
    See this page for the special font needed and explanations about browsers:

  • SAP SCRIPT Russian fonts.

    Hi,
    I have a SAP script in Russian language copied from copied from original script which is in English language.
    Now I need to change the texts in the script from English to Russian. I have found an SAP note that suggest there are three fonts which can read Russian characters i.e COURCYR , HELVCYR and TIMECYR.
    My question is when I change the font to COURCYR then only the Russian characters are readed for other two fonts HELVCYR and TIMECYR the Russian text is not displayed( Shown as #### ).
    Do any one have any idea why these two fonts HELVCYR and TIMECYR are not working?
