Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes in POS

[Terence Ng]

Hi,

I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20. I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes in POS panel.

I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.

I think there should be some settings in fontconfig.properties in %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib that I can work on. But I don't know what is going wrong.

I have copied the font SimSun.ttf to %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\fonts.

What should I do?

Regards,
Terence

It's a common problem for awt i18n. Set the fontname to null to let jre
choose the default name for you. For example, you can change
        Font titleFont = new Font(fontName, fontStyle, fontSize);
to
        Font titleFont = new Font(null, fontStyle, fontSize);
in specialpurpose/pos/src/org/ofbiz/pos/component/Operator.java.

Rebuild and try again.

Good luck,

Hi Jinghai,

I have tried it.  It works only on some parts of the screen in POS panel.

How to solve the other parts of the screen?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Terence

Hi Terence,

I'm sorry I can't help you now as I don't have a POS.

If no Font is used explicitly, you could try something like
setFont or etc.

Good luck,

Fixed at revision: 826303
Actually we were on the wrong way. It was much more simple than that. It was obvious but was missing in my mind :/
