Font setup is covered pretty well in the release notes.
/usr/share/doc/redhat-release-9/RELEASE-NOTES-i386
See /etc/fonts/fonts.conf for pre configured locations.

If you are trying to install true type font's and want what Microsoft
formerly made available as"Microsoft's Core fonts for the Web", you can
use this package:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/font-tool/
Just install the corefonts and cabextract packages, run
'/usr/X11R6/bin/core_font_install.sh' and the fonts will be installed and
setup. The fonts are installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype.
Hope that helps,
