INTRODUCTION:
=============
This Progress Technical Support Knowledgebase entry is directed toward
users of Traditional Chinese with Java on a Windows Platform.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
If you use traditional Chinese on any Windows platform, you may find
that you cannot enter double-byte characters into SQL Explorer or
other java-related tools. The Microsoft Java Development Kit has a
problem in its font properties. We include a copy of the corrected
copy of the font.properties.zh_TW file which will overcome this
problem. However, if you are using a different Java Development Kit,
a modification may be necessary.
ish characters in the
NOTE: The problem is limited to double-byte Engl characters in the
Traditional Chinese charset. All Chinese Kanji characters work fine
in Java Text Widgets uISO Latin-1.
Note also that 9.0A SQL Explorer is not DBE supported at this time.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
To correct the mapping of the characters to the font set, follow
these steps:
1. Edit the font.properties.zh_TW file in the $JDKHOME/lib
directory. $JDKHOME is the directory containing the JDK. This is
a simple text file and you can edit it with an accessory such as
WordPad.
2. Change the first line starting with "monospaced.0=Courier New,
ANSI_CHARSET
3. Save the edited file.
NOTE: This should only be done on PC systems running Win95, Win98,
and WinNT.
