For certain reasons to do with back-compat, it's unlikely that we would back-port new versions of core fonts as part of a general-distro release such as a service pack -- this will cause serious issues especially for enterprise customers. There might be a possibility that individual users will be able to license the updated fonts through Ascender (www.ascenderfonts.com), though I'm not positive about that.
