I cant remember where the official download places are, but you can just
grab my set from http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/~pete/art.fonts.tar.gz and
unpack it in your home directory and it will give you a nicely populated
set of fonts in ./GNUstep/Library/Fonts - the download is about 9MB.

I really y think some default fonts should be shipped with GNUstep and
if the freetype issues can be worked out that art should be the default
backend. Moving to art has made working with GNustep *so* much nicer - its
second only to Renaissance on my list of mpost influential changes I've
made to my programming technique in the last 12 months.
