[platform-swt-dev] FontData.getName() returns Non-Unicode string

["ZODERER.Florian" <F.ZODERER@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

we're providing a software solution for chinese and european costumers and ran in a problem with FontData class. We need a list of all fonts which are installed on the operating system and expect their names in basic latin characters. But if someone changes the settings in the control panel for the language for non-unicode applications (see attached screenshot), we get for example chineses characters ("宋体") for the font "SimSun".

 

Is there a way to get rid of this problem with the SWT API? We can't expect from our chinese customers that they change operating system settings for this issue.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Florian Zoderer
