I read no problem in this. We ship the fonts with the .exe they came from
and make sure to put the EULA where people can find it. Presto.

Isn't Java a language for the web? I don't care that they might close the
loophole in the future. I'm looking for a set of fonts that we can
distribute *now*. :)

I'll put up a little howto like I did for the URW fonts if I find the time,
but I was looking for something that we can include in binary distributions.
I think our port can look nice out of the box, and not choke on Java2D
applications.
