Including fonts in application distribution

Hi,

I want to use some fancy fonts to modernize my Swing application so that it
looks more like Web pages. Is there a library of free fonts (or not too
expensive) that I could distribute with my application? Also, I would like
to alter some text with special effects. Can anyone recommend a product?

Thank you,
Don Leckie

If the user can see a font in a web-page,
they have it installed on their system.

In that case, Java can access it as well.

Yes.

Bitstream recently put out a family of free fonts.
