As the "jisx0208.1983-0" suffix indicates, this font is for displaying the JIS X0208.1983-0 characters. Guess you would have to do some converting from UNICODE to JIS if you wanted to see what your Java program is outputting. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
