Tested with Merlin b38 on solaris 2.6/x86.

Monospaced font can not display ASCII characters correctly on ja locale.
ASCII code 0000 - 007F is displayed correctly.
But, 0080 - 00FF is not correct and is disaplayed another code(FF60 - FF9F).
FF60 - FF9F code is Halfwidth Katakana.

This problem is only ja locale.
This is not reproduced C locale.
