I don't know much about the CJK support, but I do know that Red Hat 7.2 has
a whole ton of new integrated packages related to Japanese, Chinese and
Korean input methods, localization and font support.  I have only begun to
figure out how to use the Japanese input, and I have NO CLUE how to use
Chinese and Korean although it is installed on my systems and activated.
Please give Red Hat 7.2 a try sometime and let me know if you can figure it
out.
