FreeBSD + GUI Java application are backbone of my production environment.
Some times ago I have upgraded my working configuration to
FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE, XFree86-4.1.0_6, linux-base 6.1,
java version "1.4.0-beta2"
(I'm citizen of Ukraine (xSSR) and due to USA export restriction
can't use native version of Java)
and found that I can't input russian text in java Swing application.
I have checked my language setting
MM_CHARSET=KOI8-R
LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R
relevant XFree86 setting
Option "XkbLayout" "ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
I'm using KDE-2.2 as WM but have found that it has no effect on problem
(Preferences->Periferals->Keyboard->Disable_keyboard_Layouts = true)
this console java program which I run under X-environment also have worked
as needed
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class I18NSample {
static public void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
InputStreamReader defaultReader = new
InputStreamReader(System.in);
System.out.println("User language: " +
System.getProperty("user.language"));
System.out.println("System encoding: " +
System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
System.out.println("Reader encoding: " +
defaultReader.getEncoding());
System.out.println("Default locale: " + Locale.getDefault());
BufferedReader dis = new BufferedReader(defaultReader);
System.out.println("Was readed: " + dis.readLine());
}
}
>java I18NSample
User language: ru
System encoding: KOI8-R
Reader encoding: KOI8_R
Default locale: ru_RU
Привет мир!
Привет мир!
Tweaking /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/koi8-r/XLC_LOCALE ($XFree86:
xc/nls/XLC_LOCALE/koi8-r,v 3.4 2001/01/17 19:37:05 dawes Exp $i)
(on my lucky I have FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE , linux-base 6.1, XFree86-4.0,
java version "1.3.0" without problem of russian input )
I found that comenting out this lines
#XLC_CHARSET_DEFINE
#csd0 {
# charset_name KOI8-R
# side GR
# length 1
# string_encoding False
# sequence \x1b%/1
#}
#END XLC_CHARSET_DEFINE
solves the problem.
Maybe somebody can explain me reason of this (which is guilty - Java,
XFree86, Linuxulator ?).
Or I hope the my experience help somebody to reduce debugging time
becose I spend long time digging in different mail archives and Internet
resources.
Valery.
