Decoding

Hi,

I have made an application with java that connects through JDBC to a MySql
database and performs some sql queries..
The problem is that althgough mysql can store data that contain cyrillic
characters (the needed charsets are set for the DB columns), when I try to
get these values from
the java application, GUI does not display properly the cyrillic fonts.. (it
displays only unreadable characters). I also set the encoding of the project
to cp1251, but it didn't help.
Does anyone know what do I have to do to make my java application to support
and display correctly these cyrillic characters that read from mysql
database?
