Need BlackBerry 4.5 Simulator to start with app-param JvmDebugLocks enabled?

For some reason when running the BlackBerry 4.5 simulator (downloaded just a couple months ago), you may have some trouble setting app-param JvmDebugLocks that enables debugging of locks for concurrency.  JvmDebugLocks is a nice feature, because it detects interlocks among other things.  Well, if you add the text "/app-param=JvmDebugLocks" in your simulator startup script (such as defaultSimulator.bat), unfortunately the simulator may not start.  It will give a JVM error and complain about net_rim_font_system.cod in the simulator log file (such as 8300.xml-(YYYY-MM-DD).log).  Note that I'm not referring to the BlackBerry solution described here about specifying a language for your simulator, because recent simulators should come already with a valid language entry.  Instead, Platform.alx seems to have missing font files specified.  Open Platform.alx and change net_rim_font_system.cod to net_rim_font_latin_truetype.cod everywhere in the file.  That is assuming you're using a Latin font; otherwise change it to whichever file you want to use from your Java subfolder of simulator.  Start the simulator again and you should be good to go.
