One of the differences many new Linux users notice is the lack of familiar fonts. X11 includes support for True Type fonts, however Linux distributions do not include fonts that OS X and Windows users are used to.
Thanks to the Core Fonts project at SourceForge it is now easy (and legal) to create an RPM containing the Microsoft core True Type fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, Georgia and others).
The process is quick, simple, and I have used the resulting RPM on Red Hat 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0 with great success. Definitely worth taking a look at.
