You need the mscorefonts, if you have a windows partition or cd you can use the mandriva control center (mcc from a console) to install them (under system->manage ....blabla...fonts)

You also need to get the plf version of freetype, I think the package you need is libfreetype6 (set up plf by using easyurpmi: http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php )

 

and then if you use kde enable and configure anti-aliasing in de kde control center (kcontrol from a console) and maybe also configure FF to make websites use their own fonts (under edit->preferences->content->advanced button)
