I am able to write Hindi, Urdu in JTextPane, but not able to write other Indian regional languages in text pane. I have also downloaded the font for these languages, but it doesn't work.

How to write Indian regional languages like Gujrati, Punjabit etc in JTextPane?

UPDATE :

A piece of code as requested :

public class NewClass { 

    public static void main(String args[]) { 

        JFrame j = new JFrame("Hello!"); 
        j.setSize(200, 200); 
        JTextPane k = new JTextPane(); 
        k.setFont(new Font("Shree-Guj-0768W", Font.PLAIN, 17));
        j.add(k); j.setVisible(true); 

    }

}

I have set the gujrati(a Language) font in jtextpane, the existing content appear in gujrati,but when i write in the jtextpane boxes appears. Can we have multiple indian regional languages in same Jtextpane?

  • If you ask your answer with your own code then it is easy to get more accurate answer as you want – Rajshri Dec 27 '12 at 07:07

First thing is to install the font.

Secondly set the font for JTextPane - for e.g if you want to set Shivaji05 font for typing Marathi in JTextPane then use:

jTextPane1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Shivaji05", Font.PLAIN, 11));

    Don't use 'magic numbers' like '0' for the font style. Better to use `Font.PLAIN` (or another constant or an addition of them). – Andrew Thompson Dec 27 '12 at 07:14

  • Do you really need a `JTextPane` at all? Is this styled (bold, italic, headers, paragraphs, embedded images..) text it is displaying? Or can it be done purely with the font (and perhaps a bold/italic variant of that `Font`)? – Andrew Thompson Dec 27 '12 at 10:50

You need to set the font for JTextPane.

Here is the link below how you can set the font and used it

    The font must have install in the system and if the font was found then it'll be support for write those languages. – Pratik Dec 27 '12 at 07:04
