Yup, that was Firefox that doesn't know about the Comic font.
Konqueror, Mozilla and Opra ( oops, forgot the spelling ) for linux on
FC5 all don't know about it. I have since talked with my customer and
after I explained the problem(s) with fonts, she didn't have a issue as
long as another font came up. She being an accountant type thought
that any font would work anywhere. The fonts on the test page should
have been Comic, Verdana and serif; with the proper package loaded.

Reading through the Ascender Corp's license ( quickly ) I found that I
as an end user can download the font for my use for free. I had a
question about web users and am waiting for their answer.

You are also right about other fonts that *look* like Comic, but the
question was posed, so I went and found out.
