On Windows 2000(any language edition), install some Japanese/Chinese/Korean fonts(from Win2K installation CD), run the following code. The call to canDisplay('a') takes more than 6 seconds from each Asian font on a PIII 666 256M RAM computer.

import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Untitled1 {
  public Untitled1() {
    long start, end ;
    try{
      GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
      String[] ffNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
      for (int i = 0; i < ffNames.length; i++) {
        Font f = new Font(ffNames[i], 0, 12);
        start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        f.canDisplay('a');
        System.out.println("Check Font "+ffNames[i]+"takes "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-start)+" miliseconds");
      }
    } catch (Exception exc){
    }
   }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Untitled1 Untitled1 = new Untitled1();
  }
}
