There are detailed instructions on installing truetype fonts for Debian at: http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/xfree4_tt.html . Follow the instructions for installing non packaged fonts.
Been there, done that - but my terminal says:
cannot stat '/c/windows/fonts/*.ttf no such file or directory
OK sorted that one - it ws windows/windows/ etc! Thanks Steve. Now - I have to do the following: head -1 fonts.scale > fonts.dir but it refuses saying fonts.dir permission denied.
