Text encoding about vectorgraphics2d HOT 10 CLOSED

By default Java uses UTF-16 for Strings. EPS and PDF usually rely on Latin 1, but characters like å, ä, or ö should be fine. Which version of VectorGraphics2D are you using? Can you send a source code file with a short example to [email protected]?

Great. I've sent you some example code.

Thanks. We tried to render extended characters like ä, ö, or å with the PDF export of the current git version and it works fine. The API should be the same as in 0.9.1, which you have been using. Could you give it a try and report back?

I've tried the git one eariler today but it generated an eps instead of a pdf using the pdf class. did you really get a pdf?

Thank Emil! You're right there was a bug causing EPS files to be generated instead of PDF. I just made commit that fixes it. Can you try it again?
PDF seems to have white base color which still has to fixed, so make sure you call setColor once before drawing the text.

The color issue should be resolved now. I did some more experiments myself and it seems there are still encoding problems for the mentioned letters. I will have to dig further into this.

Hi again! Just wanted to tell you that I had to use another library because of lack of time. So no need to hurry on the bug fix for my sake. Hope I didn't cause any trouble for you! And thanks for the quick response.

As of commit 1c3e24c we are using WinAnsi font encoding by default which should solve the issue. Feel free to reopen.

[Update2] No problem with the latest master. Sorry for the confusion.

[Update] I was under the impression that the above referenced commit was in 0.9.2. However, upon closer inspection I am not to sure about that. I will test and report back.

I experience the same issue with version 0.9.2.
Depending on the font either nothing or garbage is shown. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the update. Yes, it should be fixed in master only so far. We didn't backport the fix to 0.9.x yet.
