                 GetStringfromjson.addItem(data.getString("SubActivityName"));
                 getbytesfromjson.addItem(data.getString("SubActivityName").getBytes());
                 gettochararray.addItem(data.getString("SubActivityName").toCharArray());
                 getstringonly.addItem((data.get("SubActivityName").toString().replaceAll("&Acirc;", " ")));
                 //System.out.println(data.get("SubActivityName").toString().trim());
                // System.out.println("*********"+System.getProperty("os.name"));
                 if (System.getProperty("os.name").indexOf("Linux")>=0) {

                    System.out.println(data.get("SubActivityName").toString());
                }
                 if (System.getProperty("os.name").indexOf("win")>=0) {

                    System.out.println(data.get("SubActivityName").toString());
                }
            }

Can you post some code that demonstrates the issue? As usual, a [SCCE](http://www.sscce.org/) is preferred. — David Yee, Jun 07 '14 at 07:04
I am just adding item into the combobox and again there is not any issue code its working fine with ubunu but not with wndows still let me show u that code. — Kishan Bheemajiyani, Jun 07 '14 at 07:05
Character-set issue. You need to specify encodings on your string literals and readers. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-, Jun 07 '14 at 07:14
@chrylis i know that i have to specify encoding but which encoding will give me result what i need? i know its encoding that is not what i asked. — Kishan Bheemajiyani, Jun 07 '14 at 07:15
Show us how you load the JSON. You broke the data way before the code you posted here. — Karol S, Jun 09 '14 at 11:37

Using spaces for formatting in this way is problematic due to platform variations in font metrics and character encoding. Instead, use a custom ListCellRenderer, where you have more control over rendering. A related approach is examined here.

then how can i make it fix and mind well m not using any ListCellRenderer for the same. – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jun 07 '14 at 07:27
I'd recommend changing to a custom `ListCellRenderer` to get the indentation effect shown in your illustration. – trashgod Jun 07 '14 at 07:31
i have not used ListCellRenderer i told u once. and if u still say that then show me demo code i try according to that. – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jun 07 '14 at 07:33
I cited two examples above. Please edit your question to include an [mcve](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) that shows your revised approach. See also [*How do I create screenshots?*](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/99734/how-do-i-create-a-screenshot-to-illustrate-a-post). – trashgod Jun 07 '14 at 07:34
how can i make it better? i have uploaded Code which adding items into the Combobox and even screenshots what i am getting output. what more should i post in that? – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jun 07 '14 at 07:37
