I take it would be illegal for us to simply mirror these fonts on one
of our project font pages ?  Could you possibly contact someone within
Java's team for permission/clarification, else these fonts are really
of no use to us unless, as you note, the Java environment is included
within Arabbix and/or a user opts to download the fonts on his/her own.

Nor are we, but we could sure use more open source fonts :-)
