Fonts are a PITA on Linux, not because of technical reasons but the licensing of wide spread fonts and the poor choices of developers (availability vs licensing, fortunately it's getting better now). There are good quality open source equivalents for almost all proprietary fonts, but you'll have to install and setup your font manager/XServer to render those as a fallback (there might exist some pre configured packaged to fix this).
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with CentOS packages (arch linux here), but I'm pretty sure it's fixable.
