Uhm, fonts specified in CSS/HTML are matched and rendered on the CLIENT
machine (where your web browser runs), not on the server machine.  You
don't serve fonts, you tell the user what fonts you think he might want
to use to view your content.

But, assuming you understand that, and your message was just a bit
difficult for me to understand...

"apt-cache search font" will return a LOT of results
"apt-cache search truetype" might be slightly shorter, and more
appropriate if all you want is TrueType/OpenType fonts.
