The following test case shows the problem, when I change the fontsize
to 80 point, everything works fine.

Not only TextLayout.getOutline(), drawString() method also crashes the
VM when the output string is Japanese. Ascii string is OK.


import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

public class ShapeTest extends Frame {

    String chars;

    public ShapeTest(String chars) {
super("Shape Test");

this.chars = chars;

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
setSize(300,200);
show();
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
Font f = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 96);
/*
        g2d.setFont(f);
        g2d.drawString(chars, 50, 150);
*/
TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(chars, f, g2d.getFontRenderContext());
AffineTransform af = new AffineTransform();
Shape shape = tl.getOutline(af);
g2d.translate(50,150);
        g2d.draw(shape);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        //new ShapeTest(args[0]);
new ShapeTest("\u6f22\u5b57");
    }
}
