I think it would be great if we could find a set of basic fonts which could be checked into the repositories. But of course that's not so easy because I think they should at least: - be of a decent quality (comparable to the ones in the Oracle JDK) - offer as big as possible Unicode coverage - be license compatible with OpenJDK (i.e. the current copyright holder must be willing to contribute them under the OCA which is effectively a license sharing agreement)
