I don't think that is related because I have the same line and it
works for me.

I guess you don't have the Founder fonts installed.

Please install

http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/suse/noarch/ttf-founder-simplified-0.20040419-7.noarch.rpm
http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/suse/noarch/ttf-founder-traditional-0.20040419-7.noarch.rpm

and try again, then it should work.

The file 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/lib/fontconfig.SuSE.properties

is auto-generated by /usr/sbin/fonts-config (called by "SuSEconfig
--fonts").

For Japanese, fonts-config checks which Japanese fonts are available
and edits fontconfig.SuSE.properties to use the "best" ones available.

For Chinese, fonts-config doesn't yet do that, it just writes entries
using the Founder fonts unconditionally. If the Founder fonts are not
installed, it doesn't work.

I should improve that to generate alternative Chinese font entries as
well if the Founder fonts are not installed but for example the Arphic
PL fonts are installed.
