Source code is attached. The failures were observed on Windows 2000
using the Kestrel FCS JDK. Before running the test, bring up the
Control Panel, set the "Your Locale" text field, click on the
"Set default" button, and reboot.

The program will bring up five panes entitled
(1) AWT Labels, (2) AWT TextFields, (3) Swing Components,
(4) Java2D Stroke, and (5) Java2D Fill.

In each pane there is a grid of Strings. There are 5 rows
and 4 columns. The rows are labelled (1) Serif,
(2) SansSerif, (3) Monospaced, (4) Dialog, and
(5) DialogInput. The columns are labelled (1) Plain,
(2) Italic, (3) Bold, and (4) BoldItalic.

Also on each pane, in the upper right corner, are displayed
the locale and language, where the language is displayed
in the locale's language and is liable to contain non-English
characters.

In the Arabic (Egypt) locale, there are problems on the Swing Components,
Java2D Stroke, and Java2D Fill panes. No Arabic shows up in the grids on
these panes in either the Italic or the Bold Italic columns.
