Japanese input in freemind using a en_us os and i-bus none

Description nomnex 2011-02-12 12:50:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

Fedora 13 LXDE. I have installed freemind. my OS is in English, and I use Japanese input (i-bus)

freemind is new for me.  I have already opened a bug related to lose of keyboard input using i-bus and freemind.

It appears now that freemind (or openjdk?) does not allow i-bus input. When I select Japanese and type in freemind, the output are rectangles.  Changing font has not effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.9.0 RC 15 freemind
Fedora 13 LXDE and 14 LXDE (2 different notebooks)

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open freemind
2. Select Japanese input in i-bus and type some text in freemind (hiragana input)
3. the output are rectangles
  
Actual results:

Japanese input (i-bus) has no effect

Expected results:

Typing English and Japanese in FreeMind

Additional info:

It is the first time I install and use a Java application.  I am not positive, I could have missed a setting?

I think this is related to the font and or the encoding. Did you try to choose a japanese font in the upper right dropdown-menu. 
I don't have much experience with japanese/asian fonts so I could not give any other helpful advice. 
But it appears to me that it's not really a freemind-specific thing.

either freemind, either java (openjdk) related?  see the attached print-screen for detail.

Oh! upper right, my bad... you were right. I am closing the bug, sorry.
