Missing Font

Bill Dennis - 08 Jun 2004 17:08 GMT

A user getting the following error when he tries to start our
application on his computer (Windows). I believe it's happening
because a required font is not installed? If so, can you tell me what
he would need to do to get the proper font available for our
application? Thanks.

You are missing a translate table. Check the version of the JVM they
are running. It in probably too old.

No, a charset-encoding translation-table is missing. Since I never came
across MS950, I can't tell you from memory if MS950 ever was or is at
the moment a charset supported by Java.

Check the release notes of the installed VM if this is supported by the
VM. Also check the locale setting of the (Windows?) machine if it refers
to MS950. And check if that locale is indeed installed in the OS.

Thanks for the responses, but I'm still not clear what needs to be
done. Roedy, I don't think the JVM is too old because we ship the JRE
with our application and set up to point to it during installation.

Thomas, can you explain what you mean by "check if the locale is
installed in the OS"? I've tried researching this in Windows, but I'm
not sure what needs to be done. Thanks again.

Check. It's an application, right?
Visit this page..

The first word 'JTest' is a link to the
.jar (app./applet), run it to see common
properties. Or rather, get you user to
run it and check if the version of Java
it is reporting is what you expect..

You want to find out what locale the person has configured it his OS.
Look in the control panel.

Also run Wassup as a standalone to find out what the various system
properties are. The possibility is you are using an exotic locale that
is not properly supported in Java. see http://mindprod.com/wassup.html

Once you know this information, you will be able to reproduce the
problem back home.
