Firefox and fonts

I just installed microsoft ttf fonts on my fedora core 4 system and they appear there when I click on Desktop -> Preferences -> fonts. However, when I go to Mozilla Firefox and try to change the fonts there, the ttf fonts aren't listed there!
I used this website to get the rpm for my fonts:
http://www.alkalay.net/software/webcore-fonts/

Can anyone tell me how to select the newly installed fonts in firefox? They are not listed there.

Thanks,
Madiyaan

P.S. if anyone knows how to capture a screenshot from within fedora, that would be useful too. Thanks.

If you right click the top or bottom panel, at the top of the pop-up menu you'll have an option to "Add to Panel". Do a clicky there and scroll down the list until you see the icon of the 256 Mega Pixel Nikon. Another clicky, and voila, its on your panel. Now you can take screenshots to your hearts content.
But you should be able to only hit "PrintScrn" on your keyboard to get a shot of the desktop.
If you need to take a screenshot of a specific window, make sure the focus is on that window and then hit Alt/PrintScrn.
In any case, a dialog box should pop up, asking you were to save the .png.

I can't help you with them dang ttf's though, sorry.

The fonts in firefox should be available under Edit>Preferences>General>Fonts & Colors. Under the "serif", "sans-serif", and "monospace" pull-down menus, you can find the fonts you've installed.

I get my True Type fonts from here and they always just automagically appear in Firefox when the web page presentation calls for them.
