Cyrillic & Greek text do not look to be appearing correctly in java applications in Solaris UTF-8 locales, the text is too spaced out and most (not all) Greek characters are appearing in italics. Greek text looks ok when logged into el_GR.ISO8859-7 and Cyrillic looks ok when logged into ru_RU.ISO8859-5.

I have attached a number of screenshots:
java_txt_en_US.UTF-8.jpeg - A screenshot of the problem from en_US.UTF-8 locale
java_txt_el_GR.ISO8859-7.jpeg - A screenshot of Greek text in el_GR.ISO8859-7 locale, the spacing is much closer and the text is in italics
java_txt_ru_RU.ISO8859-5.jpeg - A screenshot of Cyrillic text in ru_RU.ISO8859-5 locale, the spacing is much closer.

The java test application and a UTF-8 text file that I pasted into the application are also attached: TextWindow.java & java_txt_en_US.UTF-8.txt

To reproduce this bug:
======================
1. Login to en_US.UTF-8.
2. Compile and run the attached java application ( javac TextWindow.java; java TextWindow;)
3. Open the attached java_txt_en_US.UTF-8.txt file and paste the text into the bottom text area. To change the text inside the buttons etc. click "Send Text".
You will see that the Cyrillic & Greek text is too spaced out and most (not all) Greek characters are appearing in italics.
