java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)



Chinese characters were displaying properly on JRE1.3 Beta. After updating the
JRE to 1.3.0, they are not being displayed properly.

1. Exact steps to reproduce the problem:-
 On a system with the following config:
 - Runs on English Windows 95
 -  customer  Traditional & Simplified Chinese Language Support Pack installed
   These will provide fonts - MS Hei, MS Song and MingLiu
 - Runs on JRE1.3.0
 - font.properties file that looks like:-
   ..
   dialog.plain.0=Arial,ANSI_CHARSET
   dialog.plain.1=MS Hei,GB2312_CHARSET
   dialog.plain.2=WingDings,SYMBOL_CHARSET,NEED_CONVERTED
   dialog.plain.3=Symbol,SYMBOL_CHARSET,NEED_CONVERTED
   ..
   filename.MS_Hei=MSHEI.TTF
   ..

2. Java SOURCE CODE that demonstrates the problem, if possible
   Code snippets:
   ..
   JLabel label = new JLabel("\u59d3\u540d"); // 2 chinese characters in Big5
encoding
   ..

* The above system settings and program codes WORKED on JRE 1.3Beta, Chinese
characters where displaying perfectly. It also worked on previous Java2 JRE's.
But not on JRE1.3.0.

======================================================================

N/A

The font is being algorithmically boldened, and this bug is the same as bug # 4346273.

I have similar problem with JRE1.3.0 but on Window95 with JRE1.2.2.006, Chinese (gb2312 using MS Song or 
Hei) displayed ok, but interestingly. This problem is exact in reverse, ie with JRE1.2.2.006 it works ok on 
Window95 but not on WindowNT4

please fix this problem SUN
