First get yourself a directory full of TrueType fonts....
either from;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/
or
a windows box/partition
c:/windows/fonts
and here is a script to help you out to set the fonts up for use...
#! /bin/sh
# ttfont-config
# TrueType font install utility for Slackware

# use as you wish
# With your favorite editor
# enter your source directory and your target directory below and save
# this script as ttfont-config and chmod 755 then execute ./ttfont-config
#
# You will need to edit the XF86Config in /etc/X11 and add
# your SYSFONTSDIR if it is a new directory to the Section "Files" to allow programs
# that are not fontconfig capable to use your new fonts.
# default font directories/locations; X11=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
# /usr/share/fonts
TTFONTDIR="Your Source Directory HERE!!!"
SYSFONTSDIR="Your Destination Directory HERE"
ENCODE="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/"
# ! IMPORTANT! Uncomment this line if the $SYSFONTDIR is to be a new font directory.
# mkdir "SYSFONTSDIR"
cp -R -a -p "$TTFONTDIR"*.ttf "$SYSFONTSDIR"
cp -R -a -P "$TTFONTDIR"*.TTF "$SYSFONTSDIR"
cd "$SYSFONTSDIR"
chmod 644 *.ttf *.TTF
mkfontscale "$SYSFONTSDIR"
mkfontdir -e "$ENCODE" "$SYSFONTSDIR"
fc-cache "$SYSFONTSDIR"
xset +fp "SYSFONTSDIR"
xset fp rehash
