Cannot able to type Telugu charecters in JTextField.

[swaroop]

Hi All,

I am creating a notepad which is capable of taking telugu charectors as input, save and display again when ever opened. I can able to display unicode as telugu charectors but when I type in JTextField they are displayed as boxes. Please helo me in my java program and let me know what are the steps I have to follow.

Can you display them in the JTextField?

Which font are you using? Does it support telugu?

Thanks for the reply stefanwagner,


On JTextField or any TextEditor component, I use setFont method and use gautami font. See the piece of code.


textfield = new JTextField("\u0c13\u0c21\u0c32\u0c41");
textfield.setFont(new Font("gautami", Font.ITALIC, 16));

It displayes as shown below.

gautami is windows font so displays on windows.
Please see the link for Telugu chars.

Now as and when I type I wanted to see telugu charectors on the textField.

I wanted to map the key board is my first Task. I can do it by adding KeyBoard event but I wanted to see the char on the application.
