I have read somewhere (have not tried it myself):
cp c:\windows\fonts\* /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/windows	(well, the idea of course)
cd /usr/X11/R6/lib/fonts/windows
ttmfdir -o fonts.scale
mkfontdir

Add "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/windows" to the FontPath section in
/etc/X11/XF86Config.

Restart X and the founts should have been available.

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a 
  *real* 32-bit system.
