Multiple languages in one JLabel

I'm writing a utility that includes selecting and displaying files from the
desktop.

I'm running into problems since windows xp can have filenames made up of
characters from multiple languages.

How does one display such a string in a JLabel?

I thought of using a large font like MS Arial Unicode, but it isn't
distributable and the post I read mentioned that no large font exists to
handle all of the unicode character set in a complete manner for native
users of the various unicode characters.

Help?
