A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Choice items still do not show foreign text. Bug 4464921 should be reopened. This is a regression. The last version that worked was 1.4.0_04-b04. Note this problem is only for solaris (both on x86 and SPARC) - it does work under windows.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile attached program and run with:
java -Duser.language=ja ChoiceExample


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Label and choice should match characters.
ACTUAL -
?s are substituted in choice.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
