DPG group has upcoming products that support the above 2 linux, and
will support jdk 1.4.2_05.
(RH enterprise 3 series and Suse Enterprise 8 server and desktop)

We need to have the optimized asian font.properties files and other
related support in this jdk or else we cannot release the localized versions
of these products for these platforms, nor can any user of even the english product who runs in an asian locale, because the asian fonts will not appear correctly.
Releasing localized versions of our products is important.
