Handling Asian Characters in UI and Editor

In the process of testing our RSuite produce I've created some test documents that include a mix of Asian and latin characters, both in file names and in content. In both cases, Oxygen by default uses a font that does not have glyphs for the Asian characters. It would be nice if Oxygen could automatically apply appropriate fonts for characters in well-known character ranges (e.g., applying Arial Unicode MS or Sim Hei to characters in the unified ideograph range under Windows, for example). Not sure how practical this is but it would be nice.

Hello, The mapping of a range of characters to a font must be done at the level of the Java virtual machine with a font configuration file created in the folder [JVM-home-folder]/lib. The fonts specified for different ranges of characters must exist on the computer where the JVM is used. The details of creating and using platform dependent font configuration files are at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html Regards, Sorin Eliot Kimber wrote:
