need to locate a Fonts source.......

[Steve Pomeroy]

There are also a bunch of free fonts in ubuntu itself. Just do a search
for "ttf-" in either apt-cache or synaptic to find a bunch of them. They
should automatically install if you use apt. Usually, you just need to
restart the program in order to see the new fonts in the program.
