OpenJDK7 and NetBeans: Who can use non-English fonts on NetBeans?

[Brian Gardner]

Hum,
I've seen similar issues occasionally running java/jdk16. Is this error
reproducable? If I can reproduce it, I should be able to debug fix it.
Otherwise I'll need debugging information. Perhaps I should create and
publish a process for debugging core dumps, including building debugging
versions of binaries and extracting stack from core dumps.
