Ubuntu fonts (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts) are stored in various locations defined in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf; standard ones include /usr/share/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, and ~/.fonts.
To install a truetype font , run the following command:
gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts/truetype
Then create a new directory, name the directory whatever you like and simply copy the fonts into that directory. It is also advised that you must rebuild the font information files by running the following command:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
You must also restart the system.
