RTF and Greek characters

Hello
I am trying to build a swing application witch displays
RTF
documents in Greeks from a database. I have try to use
jTextPane but the Greeks characters does not displays
correct.
I have try to paste a document from a word with the same
results.
What is the problem?

The problem is not the font
My problem is that:
I am having a huge access database file with an rtf field. That rtf has created from Word. When am trying to display those field in a JTextPane greek characters does not displayed correct.
If i wrote some text with Greek characters in JTextPane then those characters appears correct.
When i saw row data from rtf field in access greek characters is as \'e1\'e2\'e3 etc. When I saw row data from an RTF file thaw created from JTextPane greek characters appears like this \u945 ?\u946 ?\u947 ?\u948 ?\u949 ?\u950 ?\u951 ?\u952 etc.
I think the problem is that data in RTF field in access is in Cp1253 - Windows Greek and JTextPane needs UTF-8 or UTF-16 RTF
Is is Possible to convert the data from RTF field from Database File to UTF-8 or UTF-16 RTF to work correct with Java?
or best to convert to HTML as UTF ?

Help with RTF and special characters

Hi,
I'm curently working on apex 4.1 and i want to generate an .rtf file which i fill with the information coming from a form.
I am doing so without any problems when it comes to normal Americam letters.
I face a problem when i wan't to dynamicly change my subsctitution phrases in the .rtf template with czech characters (á,é...), because i can't just replace the word with these characters in the rtf because it expects to receive some escape formats and not the letter itself.
Can anybody help me figure this one out?
I've tried creating a library of the symbols and their asci code and replacing them in the file but they don't always work. I even saved a .doc file in .rtf and copied the code from that one in my .rtf and it doesn\t work. In the original file i have some characters in my file i have other characters eventhough the code is the same...
I'm puzzled by this one and i don't know what to do.
Thank you,
Alex.

Hi,
Yes i wan't to remove information from the clob.
I have an .xml template and if i don't have any updates on some chapters i wan't to remove them.
Until now i have tried to replace the strings that i don't need using the replace function, but sometimes the string that i wan't to replace is longer than 32726 chars.
I have comented the xml clob with tags like "" and "" and using the instring and substring functions i get the piece of information i wan't to remove.
"select substr(r.template_content,instr(r.template_content,'') , instr(r.template_content,'')-instr(r.template_content,''))
from rtf_templates r
where r.template_id=3"
and then i use " clob := replace(clob,get_substr)"
usualy it works but sometimes the length of the subtr is larger than 32767 chars and that's when i have problems.
Any ideeas on how to remove the chunks of info from the clob?
Thank you.
Alex.
I have changed the get_substr select because i wrote it wrong :) now it's ok

XMLParser and Special Characters

Hi,
I'm trying to read in an XML Document from a stream (e.g. a file) using XMLParser. The document contains german text (i.e. lots of special characters like umlauts �, �, � and others).
If I read this stream into a text string all these special characters are perfectly handled (i.e. � looks like an �, etc.).
However, if I import the stream into an XMLParser.Document using ImportDocument the umlauts seem to be scrambled. If the imported document is without any changes exported again to a stream (using ExportDocument) the umlauts are not displayed correctly anymore.
Example Stream:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<UserID>M�ller</UserID>
If this stream is imported into an XMLParser.Document and then exported again it contains
<UserID>M��ller</UserID>
I'm using correct XML encoding iso-8859-1 which is for western european languages and I guess it should not be a Forte locale issue since simple string handling of the stream works fine.
Thanks for any hints,
Daniel

Let's start at the basics. Right now you are quite limited by your database character set as US7ASCII. You need to migrate to something that will support Latin and Greek characters at least. Maybe EL8ISO8859P7, or UTF-8. Please look at documentation Scanner Utility, available for Oracle 8.1.6 and above to make sure migration is safe before doing any import/export. The title of paper is: Database Character Set Migration, at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/listing.htm#nls
UTF-8 will give you more versatility in the languages that your customer supports now or in the future. There is some performance overhead using Unicode but how much depends? I would base a large part of the Unicode decision on how likely it would be that other languages would need to be supported in the future and special character support.
The special characters that your customer would like to support may already exist in Unicode. IF they don't or you choose another character set then your customer will need to look at the National Language Support Guide, Appendix 'B' "Customizing Locale Data"
Are you running Greek windows? Otherwise how will you enter Greek characters? If you are using Greek windows you probably need to set your client NLS_LANG to EL8MSWIN1253.
On your Forms questions you might want to take a look at the following :
1. Chapter 4 of "Oracle Forms Developer and Reports Developer Release 6i: Guidelines for Building
Applications" discusses How to design MultiLingual Applications.

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.

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).

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
Alex

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){

Issue in Inserting Greek characters in Oracle DB

We are facing the following issue in our project. Need urgent help.
We have a multilingual string(message with Greek characters) coming in from KSD gateway. This is to be processed by MHL(message handling layer- which validates and converts the incoming message into SQL statements and vice versa). Once the validation and conversion of incoming message is completed and then SQL statement is prepared, it inserts this data in the Oracle database. We are using OCI interface for database communication. Client program is written in C language. While inserting data in Oracle DB, we are getting exception as explained below.

It works for SQL Developer, which does not depend on NLS_LANG, so I suspect a problem with your NLS settings.

When i send an email with greek characters in the body, the recipient receive it in an unreadable form.

When i send an email with greek characters in the body, many recipients (not all) cannot read it.
At the same time when i use the internet mail it can be read successfully by the recipient.
I have already checked the encoding settings in the Fonts in order to be "unicode (UTF-8)".
What else can i check?

Cannot Store Greek Characters in NVARCHAR2 columns

Can someone please help.
I have a table TEST with one column A of type NVARCHAR2(20) and when I try to insert the greek character Ω(Omega) - it gets stored as O instead.
I am inserting using SQL Developer using the 'N' prefix and my environment is as follows:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_LANG setting on client side is ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE8MSWIN1252.
Why can I not insert greek characters with the above setup and what do I need to do/change in order to be able to insert greek characters in a database using the national characterset for storing unicode data ?

Result of running SELECT a, dump(a) FROM TEST after insert an 'O' and an 'Ω' is as follows:
A DUMP(A)
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
O     Typ=1 Len=2: 0,79
I added a VARCHAR column, column B, there is no difference in what is getting stored in the NVARCHAR column when inserting 'Ω', result is below:
INSERT INTO TEST (A, B)
VALUES(N'Ω', 'Ω');
SELECT a, dump(a, 1016), b, dump(b, 1016) FROM TEST;
A DUMP(A, 1016) B DUMP(B, 1016)
O     Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,4f     O     Typ=1 Len=1 CharacterSet=WE8MSWIN1252: 4f
I'm I missing something here, since my understanding is that NVARCHAR2 columns should be able to store Unicode data ?

Multi languages and Special Characters in PI

Hi gurus
Different languages data will be coming from the source xml file and PI has to handle that data and send it to ECC system throguh IDoc Receiver Adapter.
.our scenario is MDM to R/3. Pi file adapter is picking the xml file from source directory path.
the file encoding we have used is "ISo-8859" file type as "TEXT", we have also tried checking by giving the file name as"Binary", but we are still facing the issue.
The special characters which are showing up are Å#Ã³
i was trying to look at the below mentoined blog , but that blog was not availiale in sdn.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9420 [original link is broken]
thanx in advance

> i tiried as you suggested, but i do not have the access for the RFC destination in R/3 server.
I mean the RFC destination in PI, not in R/3
> i have a doubt here
> In the xml file received by PI, the entire data will be in English, only for two particular fields the data will be in Foreign Languages(russian,greek or any other langauge).The fields are maintained under International Version Segement.
You have to split the XML, create different IDocs by language and choose an IDoc receiver channel with tied RFC logon language
see SAP note 745030
The customer should consider to use a unicode R/3 system when he wants to use different language descriptions.
In a non-unicode system the texts from other languages cannot be read, for example the greek characters cannot be displayed when logging on in russian. In a unicode system there is no restriction.

Report printing in Greek characters after changing Font

Hi All,
We had a bunch of reports created in 'Courier New' font whose output type is PDF. The users wanted the reports to print in 'Arial' font. When I changed the same from Courier New to Arial and ran the report , the report is printing in Greek characters instead of English. I initially thought that it prints in Greek may be because of insufficient space or something for the text fields but there seems to be sufficient spaces to print characters. I tried reducing the size and still the reports prints in Greek in lower size.
Can anyone let me know how to get rid of this?
Thanks,
Srini.
