Fonts are an interesting problem, people prefer different things.. generally additional fonts and/or configuration are needed to get things suitable for regular users.
Linux distributions include various font packages, and have system-wide fonts.conf configuration files to make things presentable (..rules for hinting, alias, font substitution, etc).
It's not going to be super easy, but, if you take the time.. you can get things how you want, and you can even "borrow" TrueType fonts from your friends Windows/Mac system if you don't care about licensing.
