Using UTF font in JavaApplet, not all characters display

iTech SolutionsAug 24 2017

Hi,

I am basically a oracle forms developer (not a java developer). Working on Forms11gR2, Weblogic Application server and Forms/Reports Development.

My original Question is at :  

there i was advised to seek help at this forum, since it more likely to be java configuration issue, rather than oracle forms.

Oracle forms11g runs as a java applet, and on text input field i want to use a non standard unicode font for supporting my local language (Urdu,Pakistan) its right to left direction and is utf8 supported.

on MS Word, i am able to type fully with

Tahoma, Arial, Arial Unicode, Times New Roman

and with language specific unicode fonts as well.

but in my java applet some characters do not display they are shown as either blank space or blank box (as shown in pics in my original post)

on my client windows 8.1 64 bit

i have JRE 1.8 64 bit.

i was able to map appfont to javafont and in fontsconfig.properties file i added my fonts and other fonts (arial, arial unicode, tahoma etc) as seen below

using a java applet (jar) from following link : http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/andrew/course/15/411/java/jdk1.5.0_05/demo/jfc/Font2DTest/

i was able to see all my characters that were blank in this java applet under my font and under arial unicode font as well. so i think there is some issue in my forms applet that is not displaying my font correctly.

help is needed to solve this issue.
