A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I enter Alt+0128 in a JTextField in my applet,
an "empty" character is displayed. This used to work with
JRE 1.3.1

If I copy and paste the Euro character from Notepad, it is
displayed correctly.

This can be reproduced with your SwingSet2 demo.

Note that several other extended characters are also not
displayed correctly.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 1.3

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Open your SwingSet2 demo.
2. In the JtextField, type Alt+0128
3. Notice that the caret moves, but no character is
displayed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:  The ? symbol should be displayed.

Actual: The caret moves, but no character is displayed.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
