    Default 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?

    One difference could be that the manual typing of the commandline uses a different version of java
    than the commandline being used by the OS when the jar file is double clicked.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Thank you...that was what i thought too when i checked other sites...so i tried to open it by browsing through the java directory path and opening it with the javaw.exe located at jdk's bin folder but nothing happened...... How will i know which executable is running the jar file correctly?
    I've also noticed that the command
    java -jar abc.jar opens the jar file correctly but typing just abc.jar although should work gives the same problem.....

    typing just abc.jar
    There is no executable command on the commandline there. I don't know what commandline the OS uses.

    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
