Have you installed the ttf-freefont package? I think they are supposed
to be the replacement for commercial fonts in Ubuntu and the they
support an extraordinary wide range of characters, including non-Latin
characters and non-European languages. If you don't like the kerning
there's also the ttf-bitstream-vera package providing high-quality
fonts.
