Windows Fonts on Linux Box

Here is the trick to add your linux font.
This is just simple trick.

First, you must close any application related to fonts library ( openoffice, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc ).
Copy your windows fonts ( usually it is located in c:\windows\fonts ) if you cant see this folder, thats because this folder is hidden, try to show the hidden files and folder from the tools menu ( folder options).  Remember, only copy the font files not the font folder.

Then just paste it in /usr/share/font.
Thats it, the fonts loaded automatically, try to run OpenOffice Writer and see the fonts is there.

Hopefully this will help.
