But if you have a Windows license you are allowed to install the TrueType 
fonts from Microsoft. An old Win98 license is enough i think.

Just copy the .ttf files over to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and restart X. I 
hope it was right. I have done this last time, some years ago... ;-) I think 
there are some font installers with GUI(GTK && || QT) around. Just search for 
it at SourceForge.
