Let's see if DrakFont even installed them at all.

DrakFont put my Windows fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/

To find these fonts, I logged in as root and did an "updatedb" from the
command line and then did a "locate arial.ttf"

Did DrakFont at least do this?

I was running a tail of my syslog at the time, and drakfont apparently 
kicked the Font Server when it thought it had installed the fonts.  I
saw a 
"Font Server Restarted" message appear there.  I tried your above 
suggestion after reading it, though.  No effect.  The fonts which it 
supposedly installed for me are still invisible to me....
