[macosx] Printing unicode chars with drawGlyphVector in Java 7.

[Abhinay Reddyreddy]

Hi,

I found that drawGlyphVector method does not work properly for printing unicode characters (at-least Japanese), when used with NATIVE print dialogs  on Mac OS X.
Changing the locale of the machine did not make any difference. I verified this used to work fine with Java 6.

Here's a test case and the attachment shows a picture of the

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import java.awt.font.*;

public class PrintUnicodeTest implements Printable
{
public static int count = 0;
    public void startTestCase()
    {
    PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PrintRequestAttributeSet pras  = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        pras.add(DialogTypeSelection.NATIVE);
        pj.setPrintable(this);
        if (pj.printDialog(pras))
        {
            try{
                pj.print(pras);
            } catch (Exception e)  { }
        }
    }

    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageNo) throws PrinterException
    {
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
        if(pageNo > 0)
            return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
        else {
            g2d.setColor(Color.blue);
            Font fnt = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 24);
            g2d.setFont(fnt);
            String s = "¤é¥»»y.m";
            int x = 100, y = 100;
            GlyphVector glyphVec = g2d.getFont().createGlyphVector( g2d.getFontRenderContext(), "using shape fill: "+s);
            g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
            // extract glyph shapes and draw ¡V this works fine.
            Shape shape = glyphVec.getOutline();
            g2d.translate(x, y);
            g2d.fill(shape);
            g2d.translate(-x, -y);
            // use in-built drawString method ¡V this does not work because of bug 7183516
            g.drawString("using drawString (sun Bug#7183516): "+s, x, y*2);
            // use in-built drawGlyphVector method ¡V this the bug I am reporting.
            GlyphVector glyphVec2 = g2d.getFont().createGlyphVector( g2d.getFontRenderContext(), "using drawGlyphVector: "+s);
            g2d.drawGlyphVector(glyphVec2, (float)x, (float)y*3);
            return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
        }
    }

   public static void main (String []Args) {
      PrintUnicodeTest st = new PrintUnicodeTest ();
      st.startTestCase ();
   }
}

I have submitted a bug(9003977). Let me know if anyone had luck printing non-english/roman characters with the native print dialog on Mac OS X.

Thanks,
Abhinay.
