Linux, Mozilla (and other browsers) and Webpages

is there a way to just point to all the fonts in the windows directory instead of copying all of them to the linux drive?

e.g: I have my fonts in /mnt/c/windows/Fonts, and I'd love to find a way to just point to that folder and get them working in linux.

Well, have you tried it yet? It won't hurt to add a line in the XF86Config(-4) and see what happen.

I have no clue what you mean man...

Add "/mnt/blah/to/the/windows/fonts" in the XF86Config(-4) if you already have the automatic mount the Windows. I don't know if it will work, so I said that it won't hurt to try it. If you have RedHat 8 or Xft2/Fontconfig installed, then edit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf too.

That won't work, mezz! I tried that in Mandrake 9.0 and no extra fonts were added.

Relax dude.. I never claim that will work. All I said that it won't hurt to try it, because I don't know if it will work. At least, I am telling the truth above.
