The screenshots I will attach, and the short descriptions that will accompany them, provide much better explanation of the problem than what I can do with words alone. The short story is only a tiny few of the common fonts specified by web pages get anything resembling what was requested or what is displayed when Mozilla runs on windoze instead of Mandrake. Something needs to be done to provide that most of the commonly requested fonts are reasonably aliased to something actually installed, even if that means installing more than the already large quantity of fonts already installed by default. The screenshots coming were taken on Win98 (Mozilla 1.4 public zip download), Mandrake 9.1 (Mozilla 1.5 public tar.gz download), and 9.2 Cooker (Mozilla 1.4-13 rpm).
