Special characters in JFrame titles

Have a problem with these on Win XP. As far as I have learned the
problem is native rendering of unicode in window titles. Anyone know of
workaround?

If supported:

yourJFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true)

This should work. My guess is that the characters you are using in the
title are not supported by the font you have configured for title bars.

You can change the font under Windows Display Properties | Appearance |
Advanced. Try changing the title bar font to "Tahoma".
