Re: [platform-swt-dev] UTF-8 support and compliant components

[Knut Radloff <knut_radloff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The console is using the StyledText widget, I verified that StyledText 
displays the characters correctly when using the same font set in the 
Console.
This doesn't appear to be font related anyway. When I run the same println 
outside Eclipse, on the command line it also does not print correctly. It 
looks like something gets messed up on the way through System.out.println. 
What is the file.encoding VM/system property set to? This is displayed as 
the default text file encoding on the Workbench/Editors preference page.
You could try running Eclipse with the vm argument -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

The font I use is 'Courier New'. I have just looked at the preferences
under 'Workbench -> Fonts' and I see the the 'Debug Console Text Font'
is indeed Courier New. Using Notepad, Wordpad and Character Map I see
that the font is capable of displaying these glyphs.

I have installed all the possible language settings in Control Panel
-> Regional Options.

Maybe having someone try a similar test on MacOS X, which I know is also
a unicode compliant platform may give some insight.
