Oh My God!!It is that easy. I have a dual boot (Win 2000 / SuSe 8) box, so I copied all the win fonts (c:\winnt\Fonts) to a dir I made (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/win), edited my unix.js ( on suse it is/usr/local/bin/defaults/pref/unix.js) to look like the above post, except for the last three lines, which point to the new dir, and bammo! I can't believe how great it looks. I also can't believe I wasted 3 years looking at crappy linux fonts when it was this simple. I also had to go to Edit Preferences > Appearance > Fonts, and choose the appropriate new win fonts in the drop downs to tell Mozilla to use them for the serif, sans-serif, etc.
Thanks, I am going to try this for my next install. I got screwed by the auto-update in redhat network (I believe it is called up2date, or was a year ago), and it trashed my system. I had backups of critical stuff, but having/home on a seperate partition would've been much easier. I hope the up2date utility is better in 7.3.
