UNIX Fonts?

[Bob Bruce]

I am not knowledgeable about UNIX systems and am hoping that someone can
help me. I am in the process of migrating my MapServer MapScript pages to a
UNIX server from my Windows 2000 system and am having problems with fonts. I
don't know where to get the equivalent fonts to the ones that I have been
using on my Windows system and the manager of my hosting provider doesn't
seem to know this either. Can someone tell me how to go about getting fonts
for the UNIX system?

thanks,
