I'm glad I could help.
My understanding is that there will be support in some future JDK... don't
know when though. You can, of course, create your own.
Good luck to you.

And the correct character to use with this Swiss numerical format is U+0027,

You're all correct: it *is* U+0027 instead of U+0060. I should have
pointed it out... I meant that the format (pattern) was Swiss.
Again, the point is that there are more formats than just the exchange of
U+002E (dot) and U+002C (comma). A lot of programmers are tempted to write

What version of Windows are you using? What service pack?
There is a bug in the font cache of NT4 that will cause problems if you have
too many fonts installed (especialy big fonts like this one). It will give
the very symptoms you discuss here.
Windows 2000 does not have this bug.

Arial Unicode MS uses CJK glyphs from various cultural
styles, so if you need a “pure” font, you would be better off using a font that
specifically targets a particular locale e.g. MingliU for Traditional Chinese,
and Simsun for Simplified Chinese. Both of these come with Office2000.

Well it's good to finally understand that problem. I'm using NT4.0 SP4. I
understand I'll be using Windows 2000 sometime in the near future, so I'll
wait it out.
