Workaround: Displaying Tamil language characters in the Java Wizard

On some Windows computers, the Java Wizard might not be able to display characters for the Tamil language. This is caused by a limitation of Java.

Workaround:

This procedure alters the configuration of Java on the computer that runs the Java Wizard.

1. Locate the Java home directory; for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_91.

   All of the paths in the following steps are relative to this directory.

2. If the file lib\fontconfig.properties does not exist, create it by making a copy of the file lib\fontconfig.properties.src.
3. Edit lib\fontconfig.properties as follows:
   1. After the line

      allfonts.georgian=Sylfaen

      add the line

      allfonts.tamil=Latha

   2. After the line

      filename.Sylfaen=sylfaen.ttf

      add the line

      filename.Latha=LATHA.TTF

4. Save the file.
5. Restart the browser that will be running the Java Wizard.
