Did you check why the CTextPipe does not support it directly? It looks like the JavaCT_DrawGlyphVector uses pure core graphics, which I think should support this font?

Hi Sergey, Thank you for the comments.

JTable is not directly related, but it has child JComponents under texts. It's the trigger to meet the conditions to call the function.

In this case, the font was specified as "LucidaGrande" or "Dialog" by L&F. Non English character to print is another condition.
sun.font.CFont creates a composite font by the standard Mac cascade list. In my environment, font[4] is Japanese font, even if it's CFont("LucidaGrande").

CTextPipe.doDrawGlyphs uses one strike pointer, which is for one font. To support composite fonts, I think CTextPipe needs to handle array of strikes, and to switch fonts by slot data. I don't think this is a right way.

CTextPipe.drawGlyphVector receives only GlyphVector data and no Unicode character data. So, we cannot use fallback methods.
