Description kongnan 2007-11-13 01:00:04 UTC
在中文环境中,如果选择了某些非中文字体(如Monaco),则可能在应显示中文的地方显示为乱码。或许这不会被认为是Bug,而且可以通过为“字符串”和
“注释”选择其它字体来进行处理,不过如果NetBeans能够提供一种解决方式会更好,例如(1)像某些常见的Windows程序一样允许选择“中文”及“英
文”字体,(2)或者在显示某种字体中不存在的字符时,自动使用某种指定的字体进行替换。

I'm sorry for my poor english... The following report is written in "CHINGLISH".
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In chinese environment, the chinese characters can't be displayed correctly if you choose a non-chinese font(as Courier 
New) for the editor. This may be "disposed" by setting fonts separately for "string" and "comments", but why don't give 
a better solution as follows: 1-allow user to select particular fonts for western chars and CJK chars (see OOO Writer), 
2-replace them with correct fonts (pre-define, user-define, or from font list: see CSS font-family).

kongnan, thanks for the report. You english is perfect, don't be shy to use it ;-).

Ken, is this something we already have on the list? I can vaguely recall similar issue. Is it Netbeans of JDK related?
Could you guys please reproduce it and attach the steps here (with the steps for chinese or japanese locale setup as
well). Maybe just post a link here, I think you already described the setup somewhere. Thanks

I believe this can be viewed as a good RFE for next release 
but don't think its an actual issue for nb6 since there is now
just one font choice for a given item of editor.
(we are in the final phases of nb6 release right now)

there is also a rfe to allow for easier choosing of the
global editor font, so user does not need to choose multiple times.

And your #2 suggestion is good also, to have a smaller kind of list
that is applicable for fonts that can work with cjk.

Comment 6 Ken Frank 2008-01-10 19:53:32 UTC
can team evaluate and see if this is really an RFE or is it something
we can fix though I think if it involves new properties and ui/approach
for options it might be a longer term kind of fix.

I think suggestions by filer can be taken as basis for enhancements.

Comment 7 Jan Becicka 2008-08-15 14:27:56 UTC
I agree with Ken, that this is rather RFE.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,

I confirm this old bug comes back in 8.2.

I have legacy projects which were done in 8.0 or before in which I had no any issue on typing Chinese in editor. Also properties files which are used for i18n worked perfectly. However, after I upgraded it to 8.2, all the Chinese characters in my legacy projects cannot be displayed correctly. They all becomes squares now.
Comment 11 zhijun98 2017-07-05 21:46:53 UTC
I just confirmed my Netbeans version. 8.1 has no issue either. Only 8.2 has this issue.
Comment 12 zhijun98 2017-07-05 22:14:28 UTC
I apologize that it was my bad. My editor's font does not support unicode somehow. After I choose other font, e.g. Monospaced 13, the problem is gone. So, it has no problem actually.
