Ok,
I took my own suggestion and attempted importing the windows fonts. 
After some trial and error, I was able to import the fonts (and after
reading your message Derek, I discovered I do not have perlftlib
installed???) but now I have a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/tmp
directory which appears to hold the exact same contents of
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont - my question is does anybody else
have this?

Can I delete that directory without any problems?

I was thinking that maybe during my attempts to import the fonts,
somehow I imported twice, and the excess /tmp directory just
contains a previous - but apparently successful import.

Now the only problem is how to get those fonts into Galeon, or sylpheed.
They show up in preferences for gedit, not galeon or sylpheed. What...do
I have to reboot or restart x in order for them to show up?
