I'm sure we had a similar bug reported here (maybe about a year ago).
I searchd for but did not find it.

And I don't remember if we found the cause.

What's your OS and version?
Which language version of the system?
Which java version?

So after installing an english language pack on my windows7,64-bit and configuring some entrys in my registry. My operatingsystem and my java runs US language. But the text error is still the same. I´m using java 6 32 bit update 45. Do you have any ideas?
Maybe in your bugtracking system ;P?

Please try Java 7 JRE most recent version.
I don't believe it's a problem of the installed language.

Here's the message I did remember. But sadly no solution included.

After updateing to Java 7 update 25 same text error. In my eyes it could be a fonts problem.

Is there a language/local setting i should set?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\mage\client

OK, I checked which font is used in the Mage panel for the messages.
It's "Monospaced 13 Plain". That's a logical Java font.

Logical fonts are the five font families defined by the Java platform which must be supported by any Java runtime environment: Serif, SansSerif, Monospaced, Dialog, and DialogInput. These logical fonts are not actual font libraries. Instead, the logical font names are mapped to physical fonts by the Java runtime environment. The mapping is implementation and usually locale dependent, so the look and the metrics provided by them vary. Typically, each logical font name maps to several physical fonts in order to cover a large range of characters.

So maybe something with your Java installation is broken or maybe a problem with the fonts that Java assings to "Monospaced 13 Pain".

Maybe you try something like this:
