Description
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.

Comments
EVALUATION see comments: After discusisng with the Dev Team : I've asked my team about it just now. If the jdk we support for that release supports earlier jdk, then we can just indicate in bug that our request is for future or in progress jdk releases, (since there is no way an earlier jdk can be fixed for this) and thus sustaining will not need to deal with it; or we can close that issue and open a separate one and be clear that its not for any current jdk release. (or just work directly with jdk dev team to make sure we gfve our reqs more early)
