There seem to be a fair number of people who find the DSL fonts lacking.

There's a font utilities package that just might solve the problem for us.

the fonts due suck in DSL, but nice font's are usally take up a bit of space. also i've tried many of fonts in DSL but xvesa does not handle most of them, the fonts can be used by certain apps that have settings for fonts. i have had to move to the 800x600 view to see everything myself(lost my glasses)

Converting to the correct fonts will solve some compatibility problems. Saving them to a USB key or floppy disk will meet the space problem.
