Description
Build: Mustang b80.
Host: i18n-gw700-9

On a SuSE10, with all CJK locales available, the CJK glyphs all display as blank boxes.
This can be seen in Font2Demo.
Also in NotePad, tried to enter CJK characters, they all display as missing characters.
Change to RFE, as we currently don't support CJK on SuSE.
Would be nice we do.

Comments
EVALUATION After modifying fongconfig file, it seems working fine with JDK7 b03 including IM (SCIM). Tried japanese and simplified chinese (pinyin)
