Considering all of those fonts are Windows- or macOS-specific until you get to sans-serif, this is exactly it.

Granted, there's also the fact that the common DEs for *nixen do things like font hinting differently than Windows does, so even installing said fonts won't look exactly as they do on Windows either. But it'll be closer, at any rate.
