You can fairly easily roll your own fancier logical fonts.
see
https://wush.net/websvn/mindprod/filedetails.php?repname=mindprod&path=%2Fcom%2Fmindprod%2Fcommon11%2FFontFactory.java

You figure out which platform, you have, what fonts are available, and
decide on a set of fonts to use as your basic set.  This way they can
be a little more interesting than the logical fonts.

Programmers love to create simplified replacements for HTML. 
They forget that the simplest language is the one you 
already know. They also forget that their simple little 
markup language will bit by bit become even more convoluted 
and complicated than HTML because of the unplanned way it grows.
