You might try installing the msttcorefonts packag which downloads
Microsoft's free (gratis) truetype fonts. I've been using Georgia and
Verdana in mozilla for quite some time and haven't *noticed* any wierd
substitutions for the so-called 'smart quotes' that wurd-html contains.
Of course, I might just have been lucky all this time...

PS The Andale Mono font in this package makes a pretty good xterm font.
