Yes, the Java SE SDK includes three Lucida TrueType font families: Lucida Sans (Sans Serif), Lucida Typewriter (Terminal/Monospaced) and Lucida Bright (Serif). However, only one font : Lucida Sans Regular is always distributed with the JRE that is installed with Java Plugin for running applets in web browsers to limit download size as TrueType fonts can be quite large. End users can elect to install the other fonts but only Lucida Sans Regular is guaranteed to be always available in any Java application. However since Lucida Sans Regular supports many character sets, such as Basic Latin, Latin 1, Latin Ext A, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, currency symbol, super subscripts, number forms, dingbats, it means applications have a guaranteed good base line of support. The font files are located in the $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/fonts directory.
