I try to display simplified chinese characters with Java 1.5 under SuSE 10.1, but I only get boxes instead of the characters.

I found the file /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/lib/fontconfig.SuSE.properties

which might be relevant. Can somebody explain to me how it works. From other mails on this list I got the impression that fonts-config should find everything automatically.

I've attached my fontconfig. With these settings it works well for me.

However there is one problem. Everytime java is updated I have to change the file again. So it's a good idea to save it somewhere:-)

That is strange because the file which is generated by fonts-config is almost the same as your file, both use the Founder fonts. I.e. you seem to have the Founder fonts installed, otherwise it would not work for you. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Is there a way to set up Java to use Arphic fonts instead?

Please try http://software.opensuse.org/download/M17N/SUSE_Linux_10.1/noarch/fonts-conf... and run "SuSEconfig --module fonts" (or /usr/sbin/fonts-config). I have improved the Java 1.5 setup done by this script a little bit. Previously it did check which fonts are available and used the "best" ones only for Japanese. For Chinese the Founder fonts were hard-coded, for Korean the Baekmuk fonts. The new version of the script writes entries using the Founder fonts into the configuration file /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/lib/fontconfig.SuSE.propertie if the Founder fonts are available but uses the Arphic fonts if the Founder fonts are not available. For Korean it now uses the fonts from the package "unfonts" if installed and the Baekmuk fonts if not.

In addition, I have the feeling that arphic look better.

I just tested using "cgoban.jar" as a test case and indeed the Arphic fonts seem to look a bit better. That is strange because usually (i.e. in most other programs) the Founder fonts look better. And they are also more complete (have more rare glyphs than the Arphic fonts). Therefore I guess I should stay with using the Founder fonts by default if they are installed. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Thanks! That worked.

Interestingly both of the font files have to be installed although I do use simplified chinese. Do the fonts for simplified chinese always use parts of the fonts for traditional chinese?

No, usually not. Might be something specific to Java 1.5. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

I uninstalled the traditional fonts and changed the line:

sequence.fallback=lucida,chinese-big5,japanese-x0208,japanese-x0201,korean

to:

sequence.fallback=lucida,chinese-gbk,japanese-x0208,japanese-x0201,korean

now it works.

And I get the last character right!

Does it work with sequence.fallback=lucida,chinese-gbk,chinese-big5,japanese-x0208,japanese-x0201,korean as well? I am afraid your change might break something for traditional Chinese and I hope that adding both of them might work in this line might work for both. But I'm just guessing here. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
