===============================
OS: Windows 98 2nd. Japanese
    Windows ME Japanese
Build: Tiger b19
===============================


On awt components such as TextField, Button, Label, CheckBox and RadioButton,
when I tried to display Halfwidth and Fullwidth forms(\uff00~), the excepaion below occurred though the characteres were displayed.


sun.io.UnknownCharacterException
        at sun.io.CharToByteSingleByte.convert(CharToByteSingleByte.java:185)
        at sun.awt.PlatformFont.makeConvertedMultiFontChars(PlatformFont.java:28
9)
        at sun.awt.PlatformFont.makeConvertedMultiFontString(PlatformFont.java:2

        at sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.run(WToolkit.java:269)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:549)


To reproduce,

1)Untar CharView.tar (attached0
2)Compile *.java
3)Launch CharView
4)Input ff00 in TextField which has "0000" by default
Then, you can see the problem.
Please change the size to around 20 point, you can see the characters in Halfwidth and Fullwidth forms range are displayed.



With some builds before b19, the test cases can't be launched :
1)b16 - b18 : The error below occurred and I was not able to launch the test case.

2)b15 or before : 4895864 occurs


I confired that :
this is not reproducible with 1.4.2_01 b06 on win98.
this is not reproducible with tiger b19 on Windows XP.
