Mandrake Linux TTF support

I want to know if Mandrake Linux comes with True Type fonts installed. I am tired of searching forums in order to install Tru Type Fonts on Slackware but I haven't done so. Please, if you know a quick and easy way to install TTF fonts. Please help me. I tried just copying the fonts from Windows but it didn't work. Some fonts appeared but they didn't look right. I am gonna get a new video card so it supports TTF better.

Try using DrakFont from the Mandrake Control Center. It will allow you to import fonts from Windows.
