In Kubuntu, which is what I use and much prefer, going to System Settings, 
Appearance, you will find the Font Installer and other font tools.  In Ubuntu 
however, people tell me this tool function is missing, ...a Gnome thing I 
guess.  You can however, install fonts from synaptic package manager if you 
find the ones you want available there. Or add "Font Forge" to handle true 
type fonts.
