Reassigning to i18n for evaluation.
Comment 3 Marian Petras 2004-12-13 09:54:34 UTC
This is not a bug in NetBeans. The problem is that either some Chinese
fonts are missing on the computer or the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is
not properly configured to use them.

Document "Java Internatinalization FAQ"
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/corejava/intl/reference/faqs/index.html)
should contain useful information on how to solve such problems. The
document also refers other documents - one for JDK 1.4.x
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/font.html) and another
for JDK 1.5.x
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html).

Terms "logical fonts" and "physical fonts" are used in the above
documents. For your information, NetBeans uses "logical fonts".

Since the problem is not caused by the NetBeans bug, I am marking it
as INVALID.

Reopening so that it can be re-classified.
Comment 6 Marian Petras 2005-01-21 12:21:54 UTC
This is an exact duplicate of bug #50993 ("Cannot display Chinese text
in FileChooser").

It appeared to be actually a bug in JDK (i.e. not in the client's
setup). The bug is reported to be fixed in JDK 5.0 update 1 but the
reporter claims that he encountered the same bug with the updater
release, too. See bug #50993 for more details.
