i detail the problem and souki detailed the solution.

briefly:
  in html pages, there's no support for the css font-families: cursive and fantasy.

 the remedy is to edit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (or maybe local.conf)
  to include:

<fontconfig>
        <alias>
                <family>cursive</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family><!-- place appropriate font family for cursive here --></family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

Based on the above test HTML for the families stated by the w3 (http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/fonts) this does appear to be working in Ubuntu 8.10.
