How to import all windows fonts to Ubuntu

Gain root privileges: sudo bash

Make a directory to store the fonts: mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msfonts

Find the fonts on your windows partition, for me this was /media/sda1/Windows/Fonts

copy the fonts over: cp /media/sda1/Windows/Fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msfonts

Re-create the font cache: fc-cache -f -v
