James:

I don't think so.  You have 4 font families in Java and the platform
decides what it uses in that spot.  (I.e., you say you want Monospaced
and you may get Courier, you may not).  Microsoft's implementation of
the VM may let you specify a local TT font -- I haven't seen anything
that indicates support for bitmapped fonts, though.

Unless they are graphics drawing characters, there's a pretty good
chance they're in UniCode somewhere.  You might look at the unicode
tables to see.
