Are there any standard Unicode fonts included with the JDK/JRE?

Yes. Since JDK 1.2, the Lucida Sans ( Sans-serif), Lucida Bright ( Serif ) and Lucida Sans Typewriter ( Monospaced ) fonts have been included. There is a page in the JDK documentation about these fonts at Physical Fonts. Note that only about 2,000 glyphs are included, none for Asian languages as of JDK 1.3. For a little more information on the ranges included, search for "Lucida Sans" at Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
