java version "1.1.8"

In 1.1.8_003, Graphics#drawString() cannot display a string that consists of
only Japanese characters. This method draws each character as a simple
rectangle, which may mean that the character is not included in the font. This
works well in 1.1.8.

If a string includes only alphabet characters, or if a string includes both
alphabet and Japanese characters, drawString() of 1.1.8_003 works well.

Please run the following sample to check this.
(Please run "java DrawString".)

        // This works well in 1.1.8.
        // In 1.1.8_003, however, this displays five simple
        // rectangles, which may mean that the characters
