One evil trick is to go to your ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/fonts and put a
"fallback" directory link to your actual font dir.

ex. on my system

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      34  8 29 11:56 fallback ->
/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/

This gives me much better Chinese fonts (I put my Mac fonts in there).

HTH,

Jiawei
