TextLayout.draw can not draw ASCII text on Win32 if ms*.ttc is used.
(fonts can be found on Japanese Win32)

Try the following code.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.text.*;

public class TextL extends Applet{
        public void init() {
                GraphicsEnvironment ge =
                        GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
                Font[] fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
                for (int i=0; i<fonts.length; i++) {
                        System.out.println(fonts[i].getName());
                }
        }
        public void paint(Graphics g) {

                int w = getSize().width;;
                int h = getSize().height;;
                Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;

                Font f1 = new Font("MS Mincho", Font.PLAIN, 12);
                Font f2 = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 12);

                String str = new String("MS-DOS Windows 1234567890");
                TextLayout tl1 = new TextLayout(str, f1, g2.getFontRenderContext());
                TextLayout tl2 = new TextLayout(str, f2, g2.getFontRenderContext());

        float sw = (float) tl1.getBounds().getWidth();
                float sh = (float) tl1.getAscent();

                g2.setColor(Color.blue);
                tl1.draw(g2,w/2-sw/2,h/2-25);

                g2.setColor(Color.red);
                tl2.draw(g2,w/2-sw/2,h/2+25);
        }
}

TextLayout instanciated with font object representing MS Mincho will not print
text correctly. Solaris has no problem even if exactl same font is used.
