Yes, in some sense it's an issue of "where to get the fonts" and has 
nothing to do with Mozilla.  In that sense, it has nothing to do with 
the OS either, as fonts (such as the ones I am using now) are 
independent of the OS.  I have some rather specialised needs (say, 
Macedonian cyrillic characters which don't appear in the Russian version 
of cyrillic); I think it would be going too far for the OS to provide 
ALL the fonts one could possibly need by default.

So, essentially all I have to do is find the fonts.  Probably, it would 
be enough just to install them where I installed the others, but (and 
this is a Mozilla issue) I would like to understand the chain of 
reasoning from HTML page to specific font selection.
