after returning home I could compare the font packages installed on my desktop machine with my laptop. It turned out that I did not have the arphic fonts installed, after installing these four on my laptop josm displayed correctly the chinese characters: ii fonts-arphic-bkai00mp ii fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp ii fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp ii fonts-arphic-gkai00mp I didn't attempt to find the mininal set of packages required. Maybe these or some of these should be added as Depends/Recommends/Suggests. Thanks -Ralf.
