JTextField displays boxes instead of characters under WinNT. Inserting more chars to JTextField causes application to throw exceptions.

To reproduce this bug:
1- Compile and run the following code under WinNT or Win98(English/Arabic/Hebrew)
2- Note that boxes are displayed instead of characters.
3- Try to inser charaters into JTextField
4- Note that application throws exceptions
