thanks a lot for your help + effort! that really solved my problem! i
came out with this (using the unicode website's sourcecode as i need
to compatible with java 1.4):
java.awt.FileDialog fd = new java.awt.FileDialog( new java.awt.Frame
() );
fd.show();
final String fileName = fd.getFile();
final java.nio.ByteBuffer bb3 = java.nio.ByteBuffer.wrap
( fileName.getBytes() ); // or "ISO-8859-1"
System.err.println( "Source:\n" );
printHexOn( System.out, bb3 );
final Normalizer n = new Normalizer( Normalizer.C, false );
final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
n.normalize( fileName, sb );
final java.nio.ByteBuffer bb4 = java.nio.ByteBuffer.wrap
( sb.toString().getBytes() ); // or "ISO-8859-1"
System.err.println( "Normalized to NFC:\n" );
printHexOn( System.out, bb4 );
System.exit( 0 );
so i assume that the normalizer will work also on windows and linux
or filesystems other than HFS+, so i really needn't do more?
for completedness of the links, here is the one for the IBM classes
needed by Normalizer:
kind of painfull to blow up my app by more than 3 MB just to do this
simple conversion thing. maybe one can strip down the ICU4J package
to include only those classes really needed by Normalizer. ...
best, -sciss-

Hi Sciss,
Mac OS X stores file names as canonically decomposed character
sequences (Unicode Normalization Form D).
In a decomposed characters sequence, the character "a umlaut" รค is
stored as two unicode code points.
Java usually works with composed Unicode character sequences which
stores "a umlaut" in a single code point.
With J2SE6 you can convert between normalization forms using class
java.text.Normalizer.
To do the normalization with earlier Java versions, you can use the
Normalizer classes available from the Unicode consortium: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/Normalizer.html
With best regards,
Werner

i have a problem with pathname strings from File objects. they
appear to be in a weird encoding which results in me being unable
to transcode them to other charsets and transfer them using
OpenSoundControl. the problem arises with characters not in the
lower 7 bit of standard ascii, for example umlauts. like the
following:
