Hi,
Maybe I didn't explain my situation clearly. Let me try again.

Actually I not only want to display chinese characters, I also want to the
app to be able to accept chinese characters input. I'm not able to figure
out how the Input Method framework works, but currently using the
cut-and-paste method.
Thus, it would not be possible to keep a resource bundle or properties file
for this purpose (as what is done in the IntlDemo).

The problem is it is difficult to follow the help file on the
Internationalization. It is not very clear as to what should be done for
like in my case. The font.properties file is only found under the jre/lib
directory, would it be used if we run the app using the java.exe from the
$JAVAHOME/bin directory instead of $JAVAHOME/jre/bin?

The JTextArea and JTextField in my app would be used to display and accept a
mix of english and chinese characters. Would the thing work if the input
characters were converted to unicode? and how should it be done?

I would appreciate if someone could give a working example to my case.
Thanks very much.
