I suspect that most of your problem is fonts. Most M$ systems will use
proprietary fonts as a default. The only real choice is to copy Windows fonts
into your Linux system and install them. You want to get
c:\windows\system\fonts\*.ttf, copy them to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF. Then
go to that directory and run 'mkfontscale', then 'mkfontdir'. This should
solve the formatting problems. YMMV.
Cheers!
