------- Additional Comments From sean.haoa at verizon.net  2005-09-10 12:39 -------
I had the same problem a while back.  If I remember right, setting up windows
standard fonts solved my problem.  Here are two possible solutions:

With real windows installed, just tell X11 where to find the fonts, for XFree86,
the config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config4 and add a new
"FontPath" line to the files section pointing to the windows font dir e.g.
      FontPath     "/mnt/c/windows/fonts/"
the qoutes are needed, and run mkfontdir in the storage directory.  As I
understand it, it is only allowable to use these fonts from their original
installation location.

The second option is downloading the fonts from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34153&release_id=105 and
installing and configuring as above.

In either case you will need to make X reload its font data by running 
      xset fp rehash
