download the fonts u want from internet or put the existing from ur windows system to a disk.then go to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and put them there(ttf format).this is the path for suse distro,don't know if changes with other versions...that's it!Linux For Ever!

If you're using KDE, then this deal should help you out:
http://linux.bryanconsulting.com/sto...toryReader$195.
Or if you're using Gnome (or Debian or Redhat), here's another site:
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/..._Windows_fonts.
Hope these help you out. By the way, I found these sites by typing "Windows fonts" in to www.google.com/linux. It really works wonders!

I haven't read it all yet, but this looks like what I was looking for (Install for X not just one user or just one DE) http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.7.0/doc/fonts2.html
Also, the main reason to post again was that I found the font "Bitstream Vera" And it's definately nicer than what the browser was using
In case anyone doesn't have it, try it out.
