EVALUATION On Windows, HKSCS font includes some characters defined in PUA (Private Use Area, Range:E000���F8FF), and the font's file has been specified in the general font fallback path of Java. With J2SE 5.0, characters in PUA are displayed instead of user's defined characters (aka Gaiji). So, we remove the HKSCS font file from general fallback path and add it only to the path for Chinese locale. Note that this bug is reproducible on Windows XP if the HKSCS font is installed.
