The selected characters sometimes can not be displayed with Font2DTest demo and the error message is diplayed on the bottom of the Font2DTest demo,
"ERROR:Cannot fit text with the current font size. Resize the windows or use smaller font size" is displayed.
The phenomenon that the characters are displayed in ther proper size without the error above though the cells' size is not proper, much bigger than merlin-beta sometimes occurs.

The conditions for reproducing it can not be specified, however, such a phenomenon is easy to reproduce;
For example,

Case1:
1. Launch Font2DTest demo ($JAVAHOME/demo/jfc/Font2DTest/Font2DTest.jar) on Solaris9/Sparc/ja locale.
2. You can see the error message at the bottom of the Fon2DTest demo and
Basic Latin characters which are selected by default are not displayed.
3. Change the Style to "Bold, Italic, or BoldItalic" with not changing other options, the characters appears with the proper style, however, the cells' size are not proper.
4. Change the Style to "plain", the error message above is displayed again.

Case2:
1. Then, change the Range to Hiragana, Katakana or CJK Unified Ideographs, the same problem occurs.
2. Change the Size to 20 point and the Style to "plain", the characters are displayed properly with each cell's
 size being proper.
- Change the Style to "Bold", the same error message as above is displayed.
- Change the Style to "Italic" , Italic characters are displayed properly though cells' size is not proper.
- Change the Style to "BoldItalic", the characters are displayed properly with cells' size being proper.


Case3:
- Then, change the Size to 25 point and the Style to "plain", the characters are displayed properly, though cells' size is not proper.
- Change the Style to "Bold" or Italic", the characters are displayed properly with each cell's size being pro
per.
- Change the Style to "BoldItalic", the same error message as above is displayed.



This kind of problem occurs on ja, ja_JP.UTF-8, ja_JP.PCK and C locale also.
This is not reproducible with merlin-beta (reproducible with b63b also).
This is not reproducible on Solaris8 with beta-refresh b66.


================================================================================
This is also reproducible with merlin beta-refresh b67 on Solaris9/x86 s81_39/ja, ja_JP.UTF8 and ja_JP.PCK.

I confirmed that this is not reproducible with merlin beta-refresh b68 on Solaris9 Sparc s81_40 build/ja locale
and Solaris9 x86 build s81_40/ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
And this is not reproducible also with b67 on s81_40.
