Display and Input Chinese conflict? +other qs.

I have a Swing Application - and I want to have part of the GUI in Chinese. (List boxes etc.) In order to do this, I use Bitstream Cyberbit font and it works fine.

In order to Input data in Chinese in a TextField, I use NJstar to do the data entry. This works fine on its own as well.

- Now, when I have an application to do BOTH the above, it does'nt work (I cannot input Chinese AND display chinese)

Do I need to use a font or something that comes with NJstar for DISPLAY as well?

Is there an underlying conflict between NJStar and BitStream Cyberbit on when working together - i.e. one cannot use bitstream cyberbit for display and NJstar's font for data entry?

- Data entered by entered by NJStar in chinese can be read by Java as Unicode? For example

//if textfield1 contains chinese characters (as entered by njstar)

String chineseString = jtextfield1.getText();

do I need to do any change in encoding?

- Sometimes NJstar enters rubbish (incorrect encoding) in my Swing window? Anyone had the same problem?

Please advise. TIA,

Carlos
