Why is my text unreadable when running the IDE on Red Hat Fedora Core 3 in the zh_CN locale and other Asian locales?

When running the IDE on Red Hat Fedora Core 3 in the zh_CN locale and possibly other Asian locales, the text might be unreadable because of rendering problems. This problem is a result of font support issues with the JDK on the Fedora Core distribution, consequently, this problem might apply to other Java applications that run on the Fedora Core product.

Workaround: There is no safe workaround for the rendering problem on Red Hat Fedora Core 3, so it is best to use a different Linux distribution or operating system in these locales. We have verified that this problem does not occur on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
