Actually, now I think about it, Zhigang may have meant the Notes Window [Ctrl+Shift+1] - which also needs to have fonting capability.

We'll just have to wait for Zhigang to clarify...

Sorry, I am so late to clarify it.
Yes, [Ctrl+Shift+1] will bring focus to it. Notes Window. I mean the docked area for writing Notes of an element conveniently, other than in the property window. This docked area is located below the Project Browser by default.

Also, I find a bug about this Notes writing method. Often, I lost my writings. By these steps to repeat it:
1. Open a model and select an element in Project Browser.
2. Writing something in Notes Window for it.
3. Directly close EA.
4. Re-open this model, and the writings made right now is lost.

The characters in Notes panel are small and difficult to read, especially for far eastern characters. Those characters are ugly crowed together, and it's unhappy to read them.

It would be better if can end user customize the font of notes.

Thank you all, tkouno, Thomas Mercer-Hursh, Midnight, and aehrlich for your help. I have found the solution for Chinese/Japanese combination:
1. Convert the EABase.eap file to Access2000 format.
2. Set the EA fonts of Objects and Sequence Heading to "MS UI Gothic".

Oh, it is not the problem of fonts. Some programs show both kinds of characters correctly. I have noticed that the model file (EAP) is the data file of MSAccess, and, I found that the characters stored in t_object table incorrect.

I have tried to use Microsoft Applocale to switch the locale.
OS: XP Home Edition 2002, Japanese locale
Microsoft Applocale: Chinese locale
Result: Both Chinese characters and Japanese characters are correct.

It is important to use Microsoft Applocale and set Chinese locale to open EA. But it is not a good way, we used to open a file by double click the file instead of launch the Microsoft Applocale firstly.

General Board / Multinational characters support?

I am very interested in EA, but I want to know whether it is multinational characters supported or not. I am in an offshore-outsourcing company and I want to write both Chinese and Japanese characters in one model. I have searched the web and downloaded a trial EA Unicode Edition. I found it does well with Chinese characters in Chinese OS but for Japanese characters. Also, I found it can contains Japanese characters in Japanese OS, but it can't do for Chinese.

Some of java based UML tool can do this, I use JUDE now. But, I want more than JUDE providing. I just thinking how to persuade my boss to buy some new UML tools.
