Thread: incorrect spelling of kannada letters in java jar file

Hello,
I've written a JAVA gui program with buttons having kannada text. I've used tunga font and typed the unicodes for every button label and on running individual programs i get the proper words displayed on all buttons. However when i create a jar file and run it the text is different with some of the symbols missing. I'm not sure what's wrong as no error is being shown....
Sample code:
Font font = new Font("Tunga", Font.BOLD,50);
b1=new JButton("\u0CAE\u0CC2\u0CB2\u0CB5\u0CB8\u0CCD\u0CA 4\u0CC1");
b1.setBackground(Color.green);
b1.setFont(font);
b1.setFocusPainted( false );

Well i figured that the problem is in merging the letters as this language is quite complex. When i execute the jar file through the command prompt the words are displayed correctly. However this problem is seen only when i try to open the jar file manually i.e. by clicking on it. Does anyone know what's the problem?

I'm sorry, I wasn't specific enough, I had created my jar files in 2 methods i.e cvfm and cvfe in command prompt as directed in the below link:
Creating an Executable jar File
Usually both methods give the same result...but now the jar file created using cvfe works properly when executed using java -jar abc.jar command, although double clicking it later on gives the spelling problem

i had uninstalled older versions of java and i'm running the jar fie on a windows 7 64-bit system....my java software has also been updated but still the problem remains. One thing i have noticed is that this problem is not present in windows xp OS
