Jimmy,
1. Adding a fontconfig.properties for a distro and version will not make
it appear on the
Oracle supported/certified list. It will remain
unsupport/uncertified as that's a business decision.
2. Adding fontconfig.properties files is not needed in JDK 7. See
"Support for Linux Fonts" at
http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/2d/enhancements70.html
The result is JDK uses the same fonts as the Linux desktop for logical
fonts which I think is a plus.
So I don't see such a patch as needed. It just restores the maintenance
pain we have just got rid of.

Hello,
I see in the list
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/system-configurations-135212.html
, so openjdk has the same list for support platform as standard jdk),
SLES10/11, RHEL5 are on the list (surprising ubuntu is not), so I
suppose fontconfig.properties is required for SLES10/11, RHEL5, I'd
like to post the patch if no objection.

Hello,
I happen to find out JDK7 miss fontconfig.properties for
SLES10/11, RHEL5, Ubuntu 8.04 etc. Are these platforms supported by
OpenJDK? If so, I suppose add them may be friendly to the customers
working on that. I've prepare some patch, the file
fontconfig.properties and modification on the makefile. I'd like to post
it on the list if no objection.
Thank you.
Jimmy
