Subject: characterRun.getSymbolChar() returns the same char for different
symbols
Dear POI users
I got a doc document which contains uncommon greek mu and registered symbol and
tried to use characterRun.getSymbolChar() method to identify these two symbols.
I have noticed however, characterRun.getSymbolChar() always returns the same
character and such that I could not find a way to notice the different symbols.
I looked at the CharacterRun.java and tried to print out
_props.getXchSym() and found that this infact prints two different values for
the greek mu and regiestered symbol, i.e. '-3987' and '3870'.
I really don't know if I am doing right thing in that I could use
_props.getXchSym() directly instead of using
characterRun.getSymbolChar() method which returns (char)_props.getXchSym().
To make it work, I added one method next to
characterRun.getSymbolChar() in CharacterRun class that returns
_props.getXchSym().
Would you please take a look at this and could see if this could be added into
CharacterRun class?
I enclose a word document which contains those two symbols and a snippet for
the new method I made to the CharacterRun class for your reference.
public int getSymbolCharacterAsitis()
{
if (isSymbol()) {
return _props.getXchSym();
} else
throw new IllegalStateException("Not a symbol CharacterRun");
}
Many thanks in advance
Teresa
