Hi,

i am new to ubuntu, but in other my other
distro the solution was that:
copy the ttf files into /usr/share/fonts/truetype
and in that directory run the following commands (as root, so use sudo
in ubuntu)
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
fc-chache

after that you should restart X (ctrl+alt+bcksp)
and have fun... :-)
for use them in openoffice i always copy
the new ttf files into it's font folder
(but i did not find this folder in ubuntu)
