The Core Fonts appear to simply be available in Multiverse - in your
sources.list, you'd want a line like so:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse

(with universe and multiverse also added for updates, security-updates, etc.)

As for a Java plugin, the open source Blackdown JRE is available in
Multiverse as well; the main JRE is j2re1.4, and the plugin you're
looking for is j2re-1.4-mozilla-plugin.
