Build: 07/22 branch with JRE 1.4.0_01 OS: Simplified Chinese XP with GB18030 fonts installed This bug may belong to JavaSoft. Please reassign to appropriate person. Thanks. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a Java Applet on a Simplified Chinese XP with GB18030 font support. For example, from http://javachat.sohu.com can open a Java Applet chatroom. 2. Use NeiMa input method to enter following characters in the chatroom: CJK entention A character in code range u+3400--u+4DBF minority characters in Mongolian Characters: U+1800 -- U+18A9 Tibetan Characters: U+0F00 -- U+0FCF Yi Characters: U+A000 -- U+A4C6 Wei Characters: U+060C -- U+06FE These characters are displayed as question marks. one charcter will be displayed as one question mark. 3. If copy/paster these characters from navigator window to java applet, one character will be displayed as two question marks. Notes&#65306; 1. on Java Applet, GB2312 and GBK characters don't have this display problem. 2. In <J2re1.4.0_01>\lib folder, font.properties.gb18030 does exist.

I think this is a duplicate of Java Applet CJK input bug. Java Applet is having problem not only with Extension A chars; but all CJK. (I dont' remember which)

Yes, the other bug is bug 155670, basically java applet need improve i18n support. Same problem on yahoo-China chat room page: http://cn.chat.yahoo.com It's a java bug for me too. cc some sun people.

But it seems not a dup of bug 155670 for me though. The difference between this one and bug 155670 is: this bug is for a pure extension A characters support, it happens on WinXP-SC with gb18030 fonts installed. The other one is for non-native OS.

I think it's dup; but we should get a second opinion from sun people. James.Melvin@east.sun.com?

assign to javasoft

Change component from intl to OJI.

I guess it it a dup of 155670. Can someone verify this?

Xiaobin, this is NOT a dup of bug 155670. The problem reported in this bug is that Java Applet can't display CJK extension A chars even on a NATIVE Simplified Chinese system while bug 155670 is about Chinese display on a non-Chinese system.

Basically Java needs to improve its support for CJK Extension A characters on a NATIVE system.

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
