A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When attempting to display japanese characters on a US system, the characters show up as boxes. However, this only occurs when using the Windows look and feel. Under the Metal look and feel, they display just fine with my setup. I've made the following additions to my font.properties file in order to have the Arial Unicode font used in addition to the standard fonts:

filename.Arial_Unicode_MS=Arialuni.TTF
dialog.italic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
serif.bold.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
sansserif.italic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
sansserif.bold.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
serif.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.bolditalic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
serif.bolditalic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
sansserif.bolditalic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialog.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
serif.italic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
sansserif.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.bold.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialog.bolditalic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialoginput.italic.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET
dialog.bold.3=Arial Unicode MS,ANSI_CHARSET

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached test case and you will see the boxes. Comment out the line that sets the look and feel and run it again, the correct japanese characters show up as expected.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I was expecting the correct japanese characters to appear.
Each character was represented as a box, indicating that the glyph could not be found.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
