Malformed characters are displayed on installsheild in all Japanese
windows machines - Win2000, WinNT and Win98. The problem was reported by
a Merlin CAP member.

  java version "1.4.0beta"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0beta-b38)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build B38, mixed mode)

Bug Description:

Just ran "j2sdk-1_4_0-beta-bin-b38-win-26_oct_2000.exe" and used
the default install directory.

Please see the attached JPEG(install.jpg) file. This is a hardcopy
image of the dialog, "Select Components". In this dialog, we can
see the second character of "Program Files" in Components area is
changed to a "center dot" character. And in the Description area
there are some characters changed to characters such as "?[" or "?B"
(The last character in the Description area is changed to "?B").

In next some progress-status frames and the last "Setup Complete"
dialog, we can see some malformed characters. The last character
of a sentencse (punctuation mark) is always changed to "?B".
