I don't know the answer to your questions, but I would be interested where to obtain all these fonts.
But are they linux fonts and isn't there somewhere one can get them free ?
I got the fonts from http://grsites.com/fonts/. On that site a "preview"is displayed of every font. The quantity is impressive!
Fonts are not operating-sytem-specific (when we talk about "Windows fonts", we just mean "the fonts that come with Windows"). The main distinction is between TrueType Fonts and Type 2 fonts: the former are bitmap fonts, the latter use vectors (and thus scale better - TTF often looks crummy in some point sizes). Linux can use both types, though some applications (e.g. LyX/LaTeX/TeX only uses vector fonts - so you need to go through a complex conversion process to make TTFs available).
