Bug link:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225280

Description of the bug:
All japanese strings are garbled (rectangle) and user is not able to
understand it. Please remove "Tahoma" from .form. This is an ascii font
so multibyte characters become all rectangle. This is a very high
priority bug, because user can not understand how to operate next on
major feature of NetBeans 7.3.

Impact assessment:
This will impact all (not only, I guess) japanese users who will be
using our new HTML5 support. They will not be able to read instructions
what are the next steps to install our NetBeans Chrome plugin.

Risk assessment:
IMHO there is no risk, just font .

Fix:

The fix was written by tmysik, reviewed by obrejla and verifed by vriha.

Thanks for the review,
