Japense text on a JButton

[Konrad Den Ende]

Is it possible to do at all? The software will be used on computers
with western operative systems (so i guess, JVM will be english)
but i'm asured that japanese will be enabled through IME so that
all fonts-and-company are installed.

Come to think of one more thing. The code is something like:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Japanese extends JFrame {
public Japanese () {
JButton butt= new JButton ("\u4eca\u65e5\u306f");
GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment
();
butt.setFont (new Font ("Arial Unicode MS", Font.BOLD, 8));
this.getContentPane ().add (butt);
this.setVisible (true);
}

public static void main (String[] arg) {
new Japanese ();
}
}

The problem is that the only characters i get to see are squares... What do
i miss?!

Disregard my question, please. The hardly intelligent dumbass
(that would be me) forgot to change the "Arial Unicode MS"
to "MS Mincho" (the name of the japanese font).

This one tops my doh-list of 2004 this far...
Talking about waste of bandwidth...

Yes, it is possible. (Possible on many different OSs, when proper fonts
are installed on client)

You will need to insure that the Japanese character fonts for the OS are
installed, and
you must use the international version of the J2SE (JRE) which includes
the Japanese
i18n Font properties.
