Mandrake will search for fonts in Windows and set them up, although you do have to go into the fonts control panel to do such (probably not too much for even a newbie, although automatic would be better).
See our /usr/X11R6/bin/fetchmsttfonts -- it grabs the fonts directly from an ftp server at microsoft.com and installs them. Even better since, as well as giving you the aa fonts, it puts a load on MS.
Retrieving the Windows fonts from my Windows install wasn't any big deal using SuSE 7.3. Getting them to look decent in KDE and Konqueror on the other hand.... I still cannot seem to get KDE to turn anti aliasing off for TrueType fonts. Having it on makes all the TrueType Windows fonts look either bold or fuzzy. It gives me such a headache to browse the web that I normally boot back into Windows in order to give my eyes a rest.
