∟Drawing Chinese Characters on Frames

This section provides a tutorial example on how to draw Chinese characters on frame using the drawString() method with a Chinese font selected.

Problem: I want to draw some Chinese characters in a frame.

Solution: You can do in the same way as described in the solution of the previous question. In the paint() method, first change the font of the Graphics object to a Unicode font that supports Chinese characters. Then use drawString() utility method to draw the string with Chinese characters. The following sample code, JFramePaintChinese.java, shows you how to do this.

      f.setBounds(100,50,500,300);
      f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      f.setContentPane(new MyComponent());
      f.setVisible(true);
   }
   static class MyComponent extends JComponent {
      public void paint(Graphics g) {
         g.setFont(new Font("SimSun",Font.PLAIN, 12));
