Oh, didn't realize you wanted a UNICODE font. Those are hard to come by :-)
I don't think X11 includes any.

As the "jisx0208.1983-0" suffix indicates, this font is for displaying
the JIS X0208.1983-0 characters.

Guess you would have to do some converting from UNICODE to JIS if you
wanted to see what your Java program is outputting.
