Japanese (and Chinese?) characters are displayed as empty rectangles. I believe this is a font issue. Someone mentioned fall back fonts to me - I understand that a system may be needed where if the default font does not support a language, it falls back to another font that does.

I'm afraid I don't know which component this relates to.
