Happily you don’t have to buy all your fonts. Some are free, and some come bundled with other products.

Java comes with eight TrueType *.ttf fonts:

Java’s Eight Built-in JRE Fonts
File Font Name
LucidaBrightRegular.ttf Lucida Bright (Regular)
LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf Lucida Bright (Demibold)
LucidaBrightItalic.ttf Lucida Bright (Italic)
LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf Lucida Bright (Demibold Italic)
LucidaSansRegular.ttf Lucida Sans (Regular)
LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf Lucida Sans (Demibold)
LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf Lucida Sans Typewriter (Regular)
LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf Lucida Sans Typewriter (Bold)

Your PostScript printer comes with 35 fonts built-in, but you can’t get at them from Java under Windows.
