Using Win98 and JDK 1.3.x the Euro sign (\u20ac) is not visible in Swing
components (cp1252, Locale: de_DE, de_DE_EURO).
Also using Graphics::drawString(String str,int x,int y) doesn?t show this sign
(printing, rendering to a JPanel).
AWT-components show this sign correct.
There is no problem with Win2k and NT 4.0. Also JDK 1.2.x on Win98 makes no
problems.

Sample 1 (doesn't show Euro sign with JDK1.3 and Win98):

import javax.swing.*;
class TestFrame extends JFrame {

  public TestFrame() {
    super();
    setSize(400, 200);
    getContentPane().add(new JLabel("\u20ac"));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestFrame aTestFrame;
    aTestFrame = new TestFrame();
    aTestFrame.show();
  }
}

Sample 2 (ok with AWT):

import java.awt.*;
class TestAWTFrame extends Frame {

  public TestAWTFrame() {
    super();
    setSize(400, 200);
    add(new Label("\u20ac"));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    TestAWTFrame aTestFrame;
    aTestFrame = new TestAWTFrame();
    aTestFrame.show();
  }
}
