Redhat 8 has built in support for True Type fonts via xft2. Mozilla uses a different UI library and thus has to have a xft2 enabled version of itself to be able to "see" true type fonts. What you need to do is go to:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1/Red_Hat_8x_RPMS/xft/RPMS/i386/

download those mozilla RPMS that you need (they are built with xft2 support!) and as root install them with:

rpm -Uvh mozilla*

Then simply select your new true type fonts from the mozilla font list in the preferences menu.
