Accepting Unicode characters on forms
How can I accept unicode characters on form elements (JTextField...) and process it later as this
Mick Barry
All Java strings are already Unicode.

Strings are Unicode but I can't accept it in JTextFields and other components.
When I insert some unicode characters via keybord (or copy paste ) java converts it in the asci characters ??

What JRE and OS do you use?

Win 2000 for jre i'm not quite sure now i think this is some 1.4.*
Maybe I miss to do something .
Maybe I have to use some of that InputLocale like objects when it is reading from users input;

Set your locale appropriately, and install and use the relevant font.

Sorry for not participating for some time on this question but I was busy on some other stuff.
Anyway I still have a problem on accepting characters on my forms. Can you give me some (little) example in which you display TextFields with some foreign characters (serbian is what I need right now).
(I have proper fonts and in other programs (like internet explorer ) i change keyboard language to some other language and when i write foreign characters they are displayed properly.
Am i missing something java supposed to be easy for internationalization.

Java uses it's own set of fonts. To which a relevant font needs to be installed.

I'm going to close this question too and award points just one thing more on this.
Can I distribute font with my java apllication (to be sure that exists) and how can I do that?

I geuss you can but they will need to be installed as per above link.
Or I think you can use the createFont() method in Font to read the font file directly.
