One of the coolest packages to apt-get is:
msttcorefonts - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts

I was just amazed at the stuff it did.  (OT: I've been wanting to try
to use this tool -> cabextract - a program to extract Microsoft
Cabinet files, on a cab file and see what's in there.)

It goes to the microsoft.com website, gets the exe files for the
fonts, and installs them for you.

I stumbled on this howto one day.  I scp'd a bunch of Windows ttf
fonts to my directory, ran this how to, and now have lots of ttf fonts
in gimp and in mozilla (and bitchx, etc.)
