RTFEditorKit: Incorrect handling of characters with caron (bug?)

Question

Hi,
some characters with carons are handled incorrectly when converting rtf to plain text.
e.g. řčě are converted to øèì.
š is handled correctly.
I'm using this sample code:
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultStyledDocument;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
public class TestRtf {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream("c:/temp/test.rtf");
DefaultStyledDocument sd = new DefaultStyledDocument();
RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
kit.read(input, sd, 0);
String content = sd.getText(0, sd.getLength());
input.close();
for (int i=0; i<content.length(); i++) {
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(content.toCharArray()));
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File("c:/temp/test.txt"), content, "UTF-8");
I've tested with jdk1.5 and 1.6.
Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

I'm viewing the result with an utf8 compliant editor (notepad++).
Besides I've checked the character code (see example code).
The result code for &#345; was 00F8 but should be 0159
Remark
Lius (lucene extension to index rtf-documents [among others]) does it the same way:
DefaultStyledDocument sd = new DefaultStyledDocument();
RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
kit.read(getStreamToIndex(), sd, 0);
content = sd.getText(0, sd.getLength());
