Here's something I saved from a post from weeks ago. I haven't
actually tried it myself (yet), but it may be of some use to you.
"bring over the windows fonts and put them in /var/lib/ttfonts
then run xfstt --sync
then run xfstt &
then just edit XF86Config to include that font server and run X"
I guess that the fonts would be "/windows/fonts/*.ttf".
Please let me know how you get on with this, as I'll get around to
trying it myself soon.
