Displaying Chinese
Submitted by on Monday, 23 April, 2007 - 11:15
Hi,
I'm using JEdit on Gentoo Linux 2006.1 Everything works perfectly, except that I cannot display Chinese characters.
I am loading Chinese in UTF-8. It loads, edits and saves fine (i.e. the UTF-8 encoding is not scrambled by JEdit), but within JEdit all the Chinese shows as small squares.
I have searched the internet and these forums extensively. I seem to have the same problem as this guy:
http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/3398
I have tried changing the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables as well as setting the -Dfile.encoding JVM option to "UTF8". Nothing works.
At the moment JEdit is useless to me because of this, although the website and docs say it can display Chinese correctly. It looks like a smart editor. Can anyone help?
