Copy and zip your favourite MS fonts from the nearest
Windows box, a good start would be Arial, and Verdana, this
will improve the look of most websites considerably.
On the Solaris box unzip the fonts into a temporary
directory, using the -L switch ensures that the font names
are lower case.
#unzip -L arial.zip
in the same directory run
#sdtfontadm
This is a GUI tool, so just select the new fonts and click
Install, the fonts will be installed in
$HOME/fontadm_fonts. Earlier versions of this tool were
reported to be unreliable, but the Sol9 version has worked
everytime for me.
