Yes, I confirm that copying the Lucida TTFs from the sun-java6-jre
package to ~/.fonts, as you described in above thread, does make your
test program and Josm render Thai on OpenJDK VM again without
requiring sun-java6-fonts.

Since there is no any font hard-coding in your test program, so the
difference must be in the VMs. Probably, Swing hard-codes Lucida
font for Thai, but only Sun VM happens to ship it?
