For JDK 1.2.1_03_SC50 running on Solaris 8 zh_TW.UTF-8, java display wrong Chinese Characters.

To reproduce, run SwingTest from Global TestSuite with JDK 1.2.1_03_SC50 running on Solaris 8 zh_TW.UTF-8. The wrong Chinese Characters will show up in the SwingTest.

C.f. 'see also' bugs for ko.UTF-8 which behaves same for Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8.
Lack of truly scalable font (such as TrueType) font on Solaris means ko.UTF-8
cannot display korean characters in Swing application.  On AWT, Korean text
can be displayed as AWT can use non-TrueType fonts.  However AWT Canvas widget
needs TrueType and cannot display Korean font.  Canvas and Swing share same
character rendering subsystem.

Report from  xxxxx@xxxxx 
the chinese character can be display correctly in zh.UTF-8, but
font.properties has some problem, when I start java program,the following message displayed

Font specified in font.properties not found [-sun-ming-light-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-c-*-big5-1]
[repeat many times...]

when I start a java program(zh local,s28-26,Solaris_JDK_1.2.1_03), the following message displayed
but when I change to JDK-1.2-V, the message disappeared.
Font specified in font.properties not found [-sun-song-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1]

All of the result above is from Solaris 8 build 26.

N/A

Issues with fonts in Java2 are generally handled by the 2D group.  
I am reassigning this bug for further evaluation.

Not reproducible in current jdk releases which use tt font's xlfd in font.properties files. It's the problem in old Solaris' implementaion
as mentioned in 4253417. Close as not reproducible.
