Re: [platform-swt-dev] FontData.getName() returns Non-Unicode string
|
Hi,
Short answer is no, we don't provide API for what you are trying to do
(force English name for all fonts).
But why do you want that ? IMO, you should use the localized names, it is
consistent with all other applications on the platform and that is
probably what your users expect to see.
Regards,
Felipe

[platform-swt-dev] FontData.getName() returns Non-Unicode string

Hi all,
we're providing a software solution for chinese and european costumers and
ran in a problem with FontData class. We need a list of all fonts which
are installed on the operating system and expect their names in basic
latin characters. But if someone changes the settings in the control panel
for the language for non-unicode applications (see attached screenshot),
we get for example chineses characters ("宋体") for the font "SimSun".
Is there a way to get rid of this problem with the SWT API? We can't
expect from our chinese customers that they change operating system
settings for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
