First time I actually bothered to read the releasenotes on the first CD for once
There you can read that you can take the fonts (*.ttf) from windows and put them in /usr/share/fonts and then run the command "fc-cache /usr/share/fonts". After that you will have the fonts ready for use (not in OO but I'm looking for a solution on that)
Second after some searching on the net I found this info.
Go and grab the beta of Mozilla with XFT support for RH8 here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/experimental/xft/2002-10-03/
Just grab & untar mozilla-rh8-xft-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz to any directory like /usr/local and run /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla. Go back to this forum and check the differens from the bundled Mozilla. Now the font looks great!
I actually changed all my shortcuts to this version instead… Try it

I have downloaded and applied the windows corefonts package to use under my Mandrake system, and Open Office changed the fonts with its inteface automatically. I don't know if Red Hat has offered some even better fonts than anyone else, maybe posting some screenshots will be nice .
MS downloadable corefonts package http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
Thank you guys for your great tip !! my fonts works excellent and that Mozilla build is very very neat..
browsing has never looked better

OK i got the fonts to be loaded, they have to be in a subdirectory under /fonts, not just in the /fonts dir. Run fc-cache and it works…
Got the fonts to work in OpenOffice by copying them to:
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype/
