YAY! So I got the captcha working on my own. For information's sake here's how I had to fix the problem.
I went here: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ and installed the fonts. It stuck them in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts but the default path is not there so I so I just copied the fonts inside that folder to /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType reloaded my site and the captcha was there. Thank you to anyone who read this and to Railslist for taking the time to reply. I am thoroughly excited I figured that one out on my own, though I should have known all along what the problem was.
