Wouldn't it be great if Fedora automatically mounted your NTFS 
partitions (not going to happen - I know) and found your 
C:\windows\fonts folder and copied the fonts over for you ;), during 
the install wizard.

The font's are easy enough to copy over but the window is a bit whacky 
sometimes and I had to login and logout and also restart X to get my 
newly install font's to work. A definite improvement however over what 
it used to be like, setting XFT up by hand.
