Ok, I've identified the issue, which is that TerraTheme's font, Verdana, cannot display Chinese characters (it doesn't have the glyphs).
Thinking about a fix now... ideas are welcome. One possible fix that Greg thought of would be to use resource bundles to load our theme config (fonts and colors), to allow for Locale-specific fonts to be used. -T 2009/10/7 Todd Volkert <tvolk...@gmail.com> > I just ran this test, and it looks like the window's title shows the > characters correctly, but the button does not.
