Hi, everybody!
I'm working on a RCP application which uses a TableViewer.
This TableViewer may have to display Cyrillic characters.
So I tried to implement ITableFontProvider in my LableProvider and to override the getFont() method to get some system font and use it in my table:
<code>
public Font getFont(Object element, int columnIndex) {
FontRegistry reg = JFaceResources.getFontRegistry();
Font returnedFont = reg.defaultFont();
FontData[] fdt = returnedFont.getDevice().getFontList(
"Arial Narrow", true);
if (!reg.getKeySet().contains("Arial Narrow")) {
reg.put("Arial Narrow", fdt2);
}
Font f = reg.get("Arial Narrow");
return f;
}
</code>
But the displayed font is really TOO BIG! I don't understand why but the table viewer seems to use the FontData with a size bigger than it should...
Does anyone ever had this kind of problem? Does anywone have an idea of what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
Chris

Tom,
Yes, and from the character he's showing, it almost looks more like he's
not doing proper unicode decoding. I wonder where he gets the
characters from? He could get odd results if he reads in unicode
without proper unicode decoding...

Definitely ask them to check. I think they are being loaded incorrectly
or stored incorrectly. For example, if the strings are coming from a
..properties file, that properties file *must *be encoded as "ISO-8859-1"
which means that special character *must *be escaped. Here's an EMF
utility that is used to save a generated .properties file to be sure it
can be properly saved using "ISO-8859-1" encoding. There are command
line utilities to do such things, i.e., to create a properly encoded
properties file given arbitrary textual input...
/**
* Performs escape encoding on the given string so that it can be
represented using 1-byte characters.

*/
public static String unicodeEscapeEncode(String unicode)
{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(unicode.length());
for (int i = 0, size = unicode.length(); i < size; ++i)
{
char character = unicode.charAt(i);
if (character > '\u00ff')
{
result.append("\\u");
String hex = Integer.toString(character, 16);
for (int j = hex.length(); j < 4; ++j)
{
result.append("0");
}
result.append(hex);
}
else
{
result.append(character);
}
}
return result.toString();
}
