How come I see rows of boxes (or question marks) instead of letters?
In order to see non-Latin text, you need to have an appropriate font installed, and your font.properties file has to be modified to recognize it. The simplest way to do this is to download and install the Bitstream Cyberbit font. You can follow this link to download a copy of the font and find instructions for modifying your font.properties file. Stock versions of JDK 1.2 (after the final version ships) should include the capability to display most non-Latin scripts right out of the box.
