        Just curious, is it slow just the first time you navigate the chooser,
        or is it that slow even on subsequent uses?

        I know that some of the font stuff can be slow to bring up the first
        time round, but once the fonts load, should be quick from there.

        Also, would be great if you can replicate with a small copy/pastable
        program so that we can try it.

        I just tried a test in Japanese on Ubuntu with 1.3.x svn current
        using this program, and it was real snappy:

        Screenshot of the result:

        I had to install the Japanese X fonts first, eg:

                apt-get install xfonts-intl-japanese

        ..and note in the program I specifically set the font to "Kochi";
        you might need to comment out or change that line, depending on your OS.
