[katakai 4/8/97 JST]
The title of Tear-Off menu shows garbage when the label is japanese.
I tested on S2.5.1 CDE enviroment.
 
Please try to run following program and set the menu to Tear-Off.
The title should display japanese text of "\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30eb",
but shows garbage.
 
import java.awt.*;
 
public class sample {
        public static void main( String[] args ) {
                Frame f=new Frame();
                Menu fileMenu = new Menu("\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30eb",true);
                fileMenu.add(new MenuItem("\u958b\u304f..."));
                MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
                menuBar.add(fileMenu);
                f.setMenuBar(menuBar);
                f.setSize(200,200);
                f.show();
        }
}

Another licensee reports the same problem

In JDK1.2L almost AWT peer can display japanese characters.
But only MenuItem cannot display Japanese charcters even in JDK1.2M.

My test program is followed.
