Hmmm, I thought that too, but if that's the case then TTF fonts in linux sure suck. Anyway, I don't see any TTF font names. I'm assuming you have to check in the control center under fonts in the appearance tag. Is there any other way to see the fonts available? It actually so happened that once I installed it some of the fonts disappeared :D .. I know it sounds ridiculous but it did.
Anyways its back to normal now and as I said, don't see any fancier fonts.. And yep.. I don't see the fonts..
