Question about reading languages
Hi All,
i would like to know the best way to display several languages in a same application and on different platforms (Windows, Unix).
1) i know that font.properties located in Jre\lib can be used to update logical font but i dont want to touch this file
2) i know that the method setFont exists for every component but i don't want to do this either.
I was thinking some solutions:
1) Can i specify my own font.properties (VM option, classPath or whatever ?) that will override the original one ? (it will allow me to add my fonts to existing logical font)
2) can i add font within a font family (logical font) within the code
3) is there a "big" font than can be used which recognise any main language (europe, asian, arabic) , don't tell me "MS Unicode Arial" it's about 100$
A last question: as the application must run under unix or windows, does anyone have a link where i can find the different font for the different language and their equivalent in the other OS ?.
I would appreciate any advices
