Adding to F10Target... it is a "new feature"
Comment 2 Qiao 2008-10-23 05:02:33 UTC 
It must be java open jdk problem, if I use Sun's jdk with --jdk-home switch, Chinese display correctly.

And I think file /etc/java/font.properties maybe missing Chinese fonts config.
Comment 3 Victor G. Vasilyev 2008-10-23 15:47:37 UTC 
Qiao, I agree with you - It is not an issue of the NetBeans. 
Because, both the NetBeans itself and the GUI Form examples use Swing components that are completely responsible for displaying glyphs. If some glyphs can't be displayed then it means either
 the Java platform hasn't correct info about an installed system font
or
 the font itself has a bug.

I've tried to reproduce the described bug, but I needed have an input method and I've followed the instructions described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/I18n#Language_Support_Installation
After installation of the Chinese Language Support via the command
$ su -c 'yum groupinstall chinese-support'
I can input and see hieroglyphs in the editable Swing components in both editor window of the NetBeans and the GUI Form examples application.
I think, such test is enough to be sure that the issue in the underlying components (i.e OpenJDK, the cjkunifonts-uming font, or Fedora configuration), but not in the NetBeans or its examples. 

Also, please note, the examples are only simplest Java Swing applications not more and their functionality doesn't have any impact on I18N features provided by underlaid Java and Fedora platforms.

John, I suggest to reassign this bug sequentially to responsible persons for the underlying components (and begin this with  OpenJDK) to find both a source of the bug and a way to fix it.
