java hindi font support

[Rashad]

I am doing openjump hindi translation in ubuntu 10.04 lucid. I had
translated some messages and do a native2ascii to convert the message
to escaped unicode but the instead of hindi characters some symbols
are displayed. How to configure hindi font for java-6-openjdk

NativeToASCII produces its own weird format that nothing else
understands.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/resource.html

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/resourcebundle.html

ResourceBundle has its own weird format too.

Or store these Strings in data files in UTF-8.

Politicians complain that Kindles and iBooks are killing jobs by
destroying the paper book industry. I see it that they have create a way
to produce books for less than a third the cost without destroying forests
and emitting greenhouse gases in the process. They have created wealth.
They are encouraging literacy and cutting the costs of education.

Java understands any true-type font that is pre-installed.
You can see which fonts on your machine support Hindi using
http://mindprod.com/applet/unicode.html

look in the range 0x0900 .. 0x097F

you can also do a quick check with
http://mindprod.com/applet/fontshower.html
to see if the \u0921 character renders in various fonts.
