do you already have the windows fonts? if you do, it's really pretty simple:
1. copy fonts into a directory in your font path (/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF for example)
2. run mkfontscale and mkfontdir from within the directory you copied the fonts to:
# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF
# /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontscale
# /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
3. run fc-cache:
# /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache -f
or just restart X, which i think runs fc-cache automatically (or do both
). i think that's it, post back if i forgot a step.
if you don't have the fonts, it will depend on your distro (on whether there are premade packages, rpms, etc.)
