Titlebar on Solaris does not display Japanese characters

Question

I have a Java Swing application (running on 1.6.0_06) that sets Japanese characters on the titlebar of Dialogs. The Japanese characters display correctly when the application runs on Windows but displays as ? when run under Solaris.
Details of the Solaris environment:
Japanese Solaris (UTF-8 encoding)
Japanese locale (ja_JP)
Using an X server that has the required font support (because Japanese characters display correctly everywhere except in the titlebar)
Using CDE as the session manager (and I think dtwn is the window manager used by CDE)
The funny thing is that the Japanese characters display correctly when I use the JDE session manager instead of CDE, so the problem exists only with CDE and the Open Look interface as well. I tried setting the required resources for WMShell too but that didn't work.
I seem to be missing some CDE configuration somewhere as the window manager is not able to figure out that the title is non-C locale.
Any pointers or help in this regard would be appreciated.

You're probably viewing the website in the wrong character set.
Try View > Character Encoding > some Japanese encodings, or UTF8 or 16
The website itself should specify the encoding. The default encoding - in Options > Content - is only used if the website doesn't specify an encoding. Maybe the website you're looking at specifies the wrong encoding.
