I have downloaded Java Plug-in 1.3 from http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ and installed it in Traditional Chinese Windows 95 and 98. The problem can be reproduced by clicking Control Panel, then click Java Plug-in icon. In Windows 95, text are displayed as square boxes. In Windows 98, the text are displayed as garbled/unreadable glyphs. However, in both versions, the title are correctly displayed in Traditional Chinese. (therefore we can say that the correct resource file has been opened and applied).

I have verified that the resource file ControlPanel_zh_TW.class packaged in jdk1.3\jre\lib\jaws.jar is correct.

Bug 4282089 reported that this problem also happens in Korean. In order to trace this bug, we need to find the source java file for this dialog or figure out which font has been specified for the text messages. I suspect either (1) the font specified for the text messages in the java file is not supported/deprecated, or (2) the font.properties.zh_TW file is not correct.

I'm closing this is a duplicate of 4346273. Going by submission date it should be the other way around, but 4346273 has attracted far more attention on the JDC (59 votes as of today).
