One post from Google seems to indicate that this, the Symbol font
as well
as Dingbats fonts, can't be used from java. Is this correct? Is
there some
other easy alternative? I'm interested in the set theory symbols
for union,
intersection and I guess disjoint sets.
In Unicode, union is \u222A, intersection is \u2229. There's a
block of
codes starting at \u2200 that contain an extensive range of
mathematical
symbols. You can look up these and many more at the Unicode site.
Google
keywords:
unicode mathematical union
Output to my testing applications JTextArea with or without the
Symbol font
System.out.println("\u2229");
seems to show - ? , just question mark
I was going to throw together a quick test case to show it doesn't
work. But the quick test does work just fine.
So, thanks.
import javax.swing.*;
public class SymbolTester extends JFrame {
JTextArea display = new JTextArea();
public static void main(String[] args) {
SymbolTester tester = new SymbolTester();
tester.pack();
tester.setVisible(true);
}
SymbolTester() {
super("Symbol Tester");
display.setSize(250,25);
display.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(250,25));
display.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(250,25));
getContentPane().add(display);
display.setText("intersection = \u2229 union = \u222A");
}
}
The quick test that works. Something must not pipe through the
original app quite right.
