seems to be quite short of fonts in comparison; particularly ones that work well as KDE fonts (for menus, buttons etc.). Where do linux fonts come from and how do they work? Are there any sources of free fonts?
Like Graham, I have installed a selection of fonts from the windows installation (mandrake of course has a simple tool in the Control Centre to do this) but mainly use the Bitstream Vera font sets which are Free and free and look very good.

I don't have a Windows install anymore :-)
But the fonts are nice, so I got them from here - http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
I built an RPM from there (no use on Debian I know) but you could use Alien to convert - http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
Holler if you want a copy...
