I copied some of the true type fonts from my windows partition and that seemed
to take care of this problem.
The steps I followed were:
1. create /usr/share/fonts/truetype> >
2. add truetype fonts to it
3 cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
4 /usr/bin/ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
5 mkfontdir
6 run chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/truetype (as root)
The fonts I copied over were arial and verdana. Once I sort through the
windows font directory and get rid of all the useless ones I'm gonna copy over
some more.
