JDK-6609703 - (fmt) Errors in Hungarian locale-specific formatting
Description
6609703 includes two bugs which belong to different subcategories. This is for L10N part.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. If a number is formatted with CurrencyFormat in the HU_hu locale, it will return 'Ft<number>'. However, in Hungarian, the currency should come after the number, with a space between them: '<number> Ft'.

Moreover, CurrencyFormat returns an asterisk-like character ('����') when the locale HU is used. The default locale on my computer is Locale.US, so I think it should return either 'Ft' or '$', but not '����'.

EVALUATION > Moreover, CurrencyFormat returns an asterisk-like character ('����') when the > locale HU is used. The default locale on my computer is Locale.US, so I think > it should return either 'Ft' or '$', but not '����'. I suspect that the submitter may be using a CurrencyFormatter without specifying a valid country code. (e.g. NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("hu", "") on Locale.US environment.) In this case, its formatted result becomes the same as what the submitter complained because the formatter cannot find any valid currency code which depends on a country and the default currency sign (\u00a4) is used. Please use one of the following codes if the submitter would like to get '$' or "Ft". NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() --- '$' is used. NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("hu", "HU")) --- "Ft" is used.

EVALUATION The request conforms the CLDR and windows format. Fixing as requested. ------- FormatData_hu_HU.java ------- 38c38 < "\u00A4#,##0.##;-\u00A4#,##0.##", // currency pattern --- > "#,##0.## \u00A4;-#,##0.## \u00A4", // currency pattern
