Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources]

This class defines the types of the attribute keys used with AttributedCharacterIterator and AttributedString. It defines several constant Attribute keys that are commonly used with multilingual text and input methods. The LANGUAGE key represents the language of the underlying text. The value of this key should be a Locale object. The READING key represents arbitrary reading information associated with text. The value must be an Annotation object. The INPUT_METHOD_SEGMENT key serves to define text segments (usually words) that an input method operates on. The value of this attribute should be an Annotation object that contains null. Other classes may subclass this class and define other attribute keys that are useful in other circumstances or problem domains. See, for example, java.awt.font.TextAttribute in
