I do virtually all of my graphics work (web development, phote editing, etc) using The Gimp on Linx Mint  About the only thing I ever miss from Windows & Photoshop is the True Type Fonts.  I don't know why I've never done it before but a quick google lead me straight to this Ubuntu Blog with some excelllent links and instructions on how to install a variety of interesting fonts.

The above mentioned blog (while still active at the time of this writing) is getting a bit old and doesn't apear to have been updated since some time in 2007...  In short, if you want to install a bunch of fonts on Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc.), simply type this in a console (all on one line):

sudo apt-get install ttf-gentium ttf-dustin ttf-georgewilliams
ttf-sjfonts sun-java6-fonts ttf-larabie-deco ttf-larabie-straight
ttf-larabie-uncommon

Now the problem is which one of the 300+ new fonts do I choose first?
