This is a nice thing to install on any Linux system to deuglify all those
fonts.  Now they have an easy to install RPM or DEB package, making font
deuglification easy.  Here is the easy installation RPM package for most RPM
based systems.
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/noarch/noarch/webfonts-1-3.noarch.rpm

It is interesting how they are able to include Microsoft's Web fonts within
that RPM package.  They are using a loophole in the licensing of an old
version of a web fonts package that says something like "legal for
distribution in an unmodified package".  The package is an executable ZIP
file.  It is interesting how they are no longer available for download on
Microsoft's licensing under those terms.

Also explained within that HOWTO is Anti-Aliasing, a new cool feature in
newer versions of XFree86 that makes fonts look even smoother.
