Easy way to install various Fonts into your ubuntu box is combine it with windows fonts.
Thousands even million of free fonts are available on the net and support for windows.

  • Download those windows fonts.  remember Only the TrueTypFonts
  • Create directory windowsfonts at /usr/share/fonts/truetype
    $ sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/windowsfonts
  • Then copy the downloaded fonts into windowsfonts directory
    $ sudo cp /home/downloadedfolder/fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/windowsfonts
