	No, it is not listed. You have to enter it into the first text box
(the font to be replaced) by hand. Then you can choose a font from the
drop down list box to replace it (probably a good idea, that way you
replace the non-existant font with an existing font). The reason it
'Andale Sans UI' is not listed is because it does not exist, and hence the
reason you want to replace it. :)
	As for the TrueType fonts, I stay away from them on Linux, or at
least with Debian Woody. While trying to setup an application server, xfs
for TrueType fonts kept crashing when Mozilla tried to view
www.google.com. :( I think I will stick to the Type1 fonts for now.
