What happens if you just use the relevant Unicode characters? In Cocoa
widgets OS X will just use the right characters from the 'best'
available font. Not sure about Java.
These days you don't really need a symbol font per se, if you have a
high quality unicode font available. What's bad is if the system picks
a font that looks nothing like the main font you're using.

One post from Google seems to indicate that this, the Symbol font as
well as Dingbats fonts, can't be used from java. Is this correct? Is
there some other easy alternative? I'm interested in the set theory
symbols for union, intersection and I guess disjoint sets. From one
source they seem fairly simple themselves, U for union, that upside
down for intersection and \ for disjoint? But the upside down is
just a little tricky, if there's still easier I'd use that?
(Symbol and Zapf Dingbat do show as available fonts but selected for
a JTextArea you seem to get some standard set of glyphs).
