Problem displaying special characters in Java operation

[fhorn]

Hello,

in our project we use the Java operation InsertRegisterAttributeOperation
(https://github.com/telota/ediarum/wiki/ ... -operation) for an action in
our framework, the Java operation is part of ediarum.jar.

The operation is used to open a dialogue where the user can select an
entry from an index file. I discovered the problem that some special
characters were not displayed correctly in the select list, they were
replaced with a square.

Here are some examples ł (ł), ğ (ğ) and Ḳ (Ḳ).

The characters are displayed correctly in editor, in author as well as
text mode. I set a font able to render the special characters in the
"Font preferences" (Arial and Tahoma).

This might be a rather specific question and of course, the Java operations
from the archive ediarum.jar weren't developd by the oXygen team. Maybe you
have some hints?

Regards
Franziska

Hi Franziska,

You should probably try to set a certain font also on the List used to show the entries in the dialog.
Someting like:

Code: Select all

list.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12))
