The fonts which the default font.properties uses come with the JDK code.
See share/lib/fonts/. These are TrueType fonts though. Robert suggests
you may need a TrueType font server (e.g. xfsft) for them to be useful,
but I'm pretty sure I'm not running a TrueType font server and they appear
to just work for me.
I'm still going to install the URW fonts and give them a go though :).
P.S. the default font.properties is from the FreeBSD Java porting team.
Its based on the Solaris 5.5.1 font.properties that is in the
standard JDK 1.2.2 source if I remember correctly.
