I'm sorry but you sound like a spoiled kid throwing a tantrum. "I want it this why NOW, blah blah."
All the webdesigners here know about the limitations of their trade. It's not just limited to windows fonts either. The short list of fonts are common to all operating systems, including macs. We can specify any damn font we want, but it just won't display like that if the end-user doesn't have it already.
We wouldn't have such limitations and the technology would advance MUCH faster if people stop using old operating systems like windows 95 and 98, and old versions of browsers that can't keep up with the advancements.

You think what you want is so easy to make? Then you make it. Otherwise, just bite the bullet and either learn HTML + CSS (it's not rocket science). Then you can specify your font size to be twice the size of anyone's browser window if you wanted to.

People who want "Point & Click simplicity" are the people who hire web-designers. That's how we make a living.
