^ c'mon now. If I had been more awake,
I wouldn't have answered at all.
Yeah. www browsers still honor the <font=> tag, and microsoft uses a bunch of
their own, they are all ttf's and they are in c:\windows\fonts . To use these
under linux, you'll need to install xfstt . Then copy all the fonts from
windows over to the xfstt directory, and add a line to /etc/X11/XF86Config
FontPath "unix/:7101"
start xfstt. ( This will depend on your distribution, debian puts a startup
script in /etc/init.d/xfstt.
and then restart X.
This is just a general description, If you need more help, ask again with
politer language.
have fun
