I assume you're referring to the fonts in {java.home}/lib/fonts/.
The question I would have is whether those fonts are being seen and loaded
by AWT or Swing. Just because they're in a directory you expect doesn't
mean that a platform-specific implementation of AWT is going to load them.
To answer that question, I'd write a Java program that called
GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts() and then println'ed exactly what the
available Fonts are. If something like "Lucida Bright" were listed, I'd
double-check the name, test how it rendered, etc. If "Lucida Bright"
weren't listed, I'd try to find out why not, or maybe question why I was
assuming it would be available. For example, these describe Sun's JRE, but
that's no guarantee that Apple's JVM works exactly the same way:
