How to copy fonts from Windows to Ubuntu

To make new fonts available system-wide on ubuntu, copy fonts into /usr/share/fonts using nautilus.

Nautilus has to be rooted.  Launch with:
gksu nautilus

We can create subdirectory to organize font files.

The system will automatically convert font to ubuntu format.

Next, clear the font cache with this command

sudo fc-cache -v -f

Done.
