After reading the long thread at the launchpad bug noted above, it seems that those still having problems found a resolution:
"The remaining problem does not come from some bug in the jdk, but only the UTF-8 fonts configuration.
The fontconfig.properties file contains the following line:
sequence.allfonts.UTF-8=latin-1,wqy-zenhei,japanese-vlgothic,japanese-kochi,japanese-sazanami,korean-un,korean-baekmuk,bengali,oriya,telugu
If you remove the last three groups it solves the problem."
I suppose this means this is truly fixed? Can you confirm that this is no longer a problem for you Carlos?
