Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: font for accented characters
Hello,
Thanks again.
Adding either of your suggestions (eg. -J-Dsun.stdout.encoding=utf-8, or on a
recent
JDK -J-Dstdout.encoding=utf-8) to .conf both had no obvious, immediate effect,
but having added those items, and then running with the line "System.setOut(new
PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF8"));" and finally the output of
System.out.print() of an accented character is correct!
Now I have to test other aspects of using these characters, but at least this
one part of the problem is possibly solved. We'll see if these changes have
some undesirable side-effects as I work for the next few days.
Thanks so much!

Then it's possibly not (just) file encoding you want to set, but also
system out encoding (eg. -J-Dsun.stdout.encoding=utf-8, or on a recent
JDK -J-Dstdout.encoding=utf-8)
See also https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4771 and related.
You can always set command line arguments like this in the Windows
shortcut as well as the netbeans.conf file. I find that better as you
can set up multiple shortcuts.
You can also consider setting the environment variable mentioned in
that issue and linked - JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
Or it's the font ..
This is all a little confusing and annoying if you ask me, but then
that's Windows for you! :-)
Best wishes,
Neil
