When running the following program, you should notice that the left side
contains a greek character and the trademark character (TM). The right side
contains the greek character and a box, indicating it can't find the
character. This seems odd, since the only difference between the two is that
the button on the left has a BOLD fond and the right is a PLAIN font.

If I run this program under 1.3, the right side displays both characters as a
box...(i.e. it's worse)

public class FontTest
{
    public static void main( String args[] )
    {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        Container content = frame.getContentPane();
        content.setLayout( new GridLayout( 1, 0 ) );

        JButton button1 = new JButton( "\u03d1\u2122" );
        button1.setFont( new Font( "sansserif", Font.BOLD, 12 ) );
        content.add( button1 );

        JButton button2 = new JButton( "\u03d1\u2122" );
        button2.setFont( new Font( "sansserif", Font.PLAIN, 12 ) );
        content.add( button2 );
        
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible( true );
        frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
        } );

        
    }
