Arabic Newspaper -- one of my favourite Linux fonts.

Most of the common Windows fonts have a Linux equivilent:

Times New Roman ---- Adobe Times
Arial ---- Adobe Helvetica
Verdana ---- Arabic Newspaper

Maybe I'll put together a proper list later when I can be bothered to switch the monitors around again.

On XFree86 4 TruType is natively supported, so all your favorite Windows fonts can still be used in Linux, and on onlder versions of X, XFT allows for third-party support of TruType fonts. :)
