[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-4135) FlatLaf on Windows does not render all Unicode characters

["Eirik Bakke (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4135?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17445642#comment-17445642 ] 

Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-4135:
---------------------------------------

Using StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().getFont was a nice trick! It seems to make a difference for physical fonts such as "Segoe UI" or "Consolas", but not for the logical Java fonts such as "Monospaced" or "Dialog", which are always loaded as composite fonts.

I tried using this call from the NetBeans editor libraries as well, and it successfully makes e.g. Chinese and Japanese characters displayable in the editor even when a physical font that does not support them is selected (e.g. "Consolas"). I might make a PR out of that later, as a solution for NETBEANS-904.

> reported here [https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/issues/81]
> On Windows, FlatLaf components can not render all Unicode characters because the used font "Segoe UI" does not contain all characters and FlatLaf does not create a Swing "composite font", which could render all Unicode characters.
> On Linux, FlatLaf already creates a composite font.
> On Mac, the used font seems to contain all (or more) Unicode characters.
