Netscape 4.x has problems with support of scalable fonts.
it was acknoledges by people from Netscape (on XFree86 Fonts mailing list)
Solution from their side: use Mozilla or later coming Netscape 6.
Or try Konqueror (Kmail for mails)
Try this test page:
http://kde2.newmail.ru/font_test_arial.html
If clicking on word "here" in sentence "Click here to test Arial font with
your browser" shows you page with nice-looking Arial font (36pt, 24pt, 18pt)
then you have correctly installed fonts (at least Arial)
If not - see screenshots linked to this page, you will see the difference :-)
Probably, you will find in one of these screenshots yours.
I recommend you to take all fonts from your c:/windows/fonts directory to one
directory on your Linux box, run ttmkfdir to create fonts.dir and put
reference in font catalog for XFS to this fonts.dir as first position.
For example, I deleted all other entries in my config:
file:/etc/X11/fs/config
-------------
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/winfonts
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
# /usr/share/fonts/ttf/western,
# /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
# /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk

In Russia we use CP1251 for office applications (documentation) and KOI-8r
for some e-mails.
But, for some reason CP1251 encoding is not listed in KMail. While I still
can view mail with this encoding.
Konqueror works perfectly with Cyrillic.
