Abstract

Displaying Indic in Java

Craig Cummings - Oracle Corporation

Intended Audience: Managers, Software Engineers, Font Designers, Testers, Designers
Session Level: Beginner, Intermediate

With the releases of J2SE v1.4.X, Java added support for some Indic scripts and languages. This is practical look at how-tos of Indic display in Java.

In this session, I will talk about which platforms best support Java Indic display, what Indic fonts are available that work with Java, and how to configure Java to use these fonts -- including insights into font.properties modification. Though the focus of this presentation will be on current Java Indic support, particularly for the Devanagari script, I will conclude with a preview of the future of Java's support for Indic and its display of other Indic scripts.
