Ummm, cheeky answer would be, use the x-ttcidfont-conf package.

I found a link on installing and configuring it for Debian (and since
Ubuntu is based on Debian, it *should* work):

Just as a laugh, have you tried 'sudo apt-get install x-ttcidfont-conf'
followed by 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfont-conf'?
