Problem with the EURO character
I can't see the Euro character and I don't understand why. I use the symbol \u20AC and it doesn't work. I have use some fonts which allow the symbol but I only get a white space or nothing.
I haven't tried to print it but I'll try. This problem happens trying to show in JLabels or JTextFields.
Does anyone know what's wrong?
I'm working with JDK 1.3.

Hi Andres,
I've seen this situation before with several characters that don't display in certain fonts even though font.canDisplay(char) evaluates true.
For example, Courier New (among many others) and \u20ac . (I don't know why this is?)
Anyway, use the Ariel Unicode MS font and it will display.
Regards,
Joe

Andres,My experience in using fonts in 1.3 is that there are many things that don't perform as expected or as documented. Again, I don't know why that is, but I wouldn't bet the ranch on these things being fixed in 1.4 ;-)Regards,Joe
