I am not sure but this was probably for Java on Windows.
Couple of weeks ago we searched on the internet for Java
Hindi support on Linux. At that time we found that Java
supports rendering of Indic scripts on Windows platform
only and it was contributed by IBM. The classes were first
designed by IBM then handed over to Sun. We also found that
Java doesn't support Indic rendering on Linux. We really
have to check it out for this latest version of JDK.
