Hell no, that's hardly true. Otherwise I wouldn't be asking questions on 
this list.

The fact is that there are some approaches to the problem that are 
productive, and there are those that will bitch and moan despite 
approaching the whole thing wrongheadedly, and *encouraging* particular 
behaviors that are wrongheaded will NOT help people unless it's the help 
yourself by making others dependent on you. Or you're trying to help 
them screw up the computer for your own amusement.  I'd prefer that 
people don't automatically bitch about how screwed up Linux is when it 
was something they did to themselves (for better or worse, that is more 
often than not the case when I run into this sort of issue...just 
acknowledge and move on.)

If you're installing TrueType fonts, a quick google for "ubuntu truetype 
fonts" turned up results like
"http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/09/installing-microsoft-fonts/" 
that may be of help.
