Maxim produced the Culmus fonts using a program called PfaEdit, which can also emit TrueType fonts. So the simple solution, at least for the period until Sun releases its fonts, is to ask Maxim to generate .TTF versions of his fonts.
Another option, which will probably produce better on-screen results, is to get the Microsoft Core Fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) from corefonts.sourceforge.net. MS used to distribute them freely with a license that allows online redistribution. MS stopped distributing them, but somebody continues (legally) under the provisions of the MS license.
