Source code is attached.

All of the ISO8859-5 locales should work in Solaris 8 (see bug
4326576). Attempting to display text causes my test program to
core dump.

The program should 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.

What happens instead is a core dump:

The behavior is completely different with _JAVA_AWT_USE_MOTIF_1_2 set.
I don't know what the correct patches might be - I have the newest
Solaris 8 and the Recommended and Security cluster patches from
November 23. In addition, the Motif (I think) patch 108940-12 was
applied.

The displays are still pretty funky. In bg_BG.ISO8859-5.

(1) The frame that contains the panes seems to use random
number generation to dimension itself.
(2) Every other run leaves the Java2D Fill pane blank. When
this happens, clicking on one of the tabs at the top of the
frame causes the tabs to disappear as well. And, when that
happens the program is frozen and will not even respond to
an ALT-F4.
(3) When the Java2D Fill pane is not blank, the Italic column
contains text that is not positioned correctly.

The other ISO8859-5 locales share behaviors (1) and (2).
