Description
The ArcIMS Author and ArcExplorer-Java Edition applications cannot display some Hong Kong Special Character Set (HKSCS) characters.
Cause
This is a known limit of version 4.0.1 of ArcIMS and ArcExplorer-Java Edition.
Solution or Workaround
Turning off Java's advance cache for fonts solves the problem and enables the display of all HKSCS characters.

For ArcExplorer-Java Edition, click Start > Programs > ArcGIS and right-click on ArcExplorer.
2. Click Properties and click the Shortcut tab.
3. Insert the parameter in the java command string in the Target field.
For example,
