The point of the matter is that there is nothing like "windows fonts".
what you want are "true type fonts" or ttf. I have personally posted
ways to use the TTF under linux.

I also wrote some scripts for use under my Slackware system. With the
new RH 6.1, u don't need to do such a tedious install, but still i
guess some of those files might be worth looking into.

The url is:
	ftp://202.141.63.160/pub/text-proc/font-proc/xfsft.tar.gz

And also, I guess everyone here should remember "There Ain't No Such
Thing As A Free Lunch"

Working with Linux and helping people is what most of us do out of
joy, or b'cos we want to be looked upon as demi-gods [i won't mind it
u worship me, but i guess i am not there yet :( ], or whatever reason,
So, i guess that it is important that we don't get frayed!
