Related to bug#4951068 against java:classes_fontprop

Attempts to display Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Japanese, or Korean (CJK) glyphs in Swing components show square boxes rather than good glyphs with JDK 1.4.2_04.

This results are likely due to the lack font.properties for SUSE/United Linux for the ja, ko, zh_CN, or zh_TW and the default font.properties containing logical font mappings to fonts that lack glyphs for these CJK scripts.
