I think you're totally confusing yourself about font issues. Java only
interacts with fonts of any kind when running AWT/Swing apps. Webapps
have no interactions with fonts of any kind.
Chris... exactly yes... it turns out he want setting headers, so you
absolutely right...
but his code is introducing a font into a web app and thats what I'm
wondering about...
Forget about the webapp for a moment and just look at his code...
java.text.NumberFormat currencyFormat=
java.text.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.UK);
out.print("Formatted currency (GBP) : " + currencyFormat.format(
1623540.00 ) );
Its generating a pound... the question is, the webapp is not dicatation the
font... so I'm asking what font is being used for the pound?
And then yes... it so happens that he has found the encoding that works in
text plain... but its a flook, is lucky, its a problem waiting to happen
because if I change that locale of his to french, german, chinese... what
font is that now going to be... and that will probably definitely not work
in default US encoding...
Theres a few problem here...
He *is* introducing a font into a webapp.... and we dont even know what it
is?
