Hi Snodx,
I am into a project which requires to accept localized inputs. Something
very similar to what u want to be done. I have already delved in the
books of Java and found that until the fonts in which actually the
program will (ultimately) translate into has (must) be installed in the
system and it should be Unicode UTF-8...
My problem is if this has to be done then most users have to download a
small application which installs the fonts in the fonts folder. Many of
the internet users may not be willing to take all that trouble.
Now www.bitstream.com has a solution where it can download a font
dynamically and show it on the clients machine. A small active X
component although has to be downloaded by the client. This utility is
free at there site. But to my horror this dynamically downloaded font
does not show up in the fonts family when my Java applet tries to call
them.
Till Then I am trying to search the net for a better alternative.
If u get any leads do write to me.

Regards
