[PLUG-TALK] Available Fonts in Firefox on Ubuntu

[Richard C. Steffens]

I'm working on a small web site that needs to display a somewhat fancy 
font. I'm designing the site on my Ubuntu machine and looking at it with 
Firefox. I don't expect the fonts to look the same in Firefox on Ubuntu 
as they do in Firefox on XP, but I expect there to be something in the 
font family that is at least similar enough to get the idea across.

My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a cursive font family for 
Firefox on Ubuntu.

Here's what I'm talking about:

As you can see from the screen shots, there is a cursive font on XP, but 
not on Ubuntu. Is there a way to fix this so I can see cursive fonts in 
Firefox on Ubuntu?
