I followed these instructions:
http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/09/16/installing-vista-fonts-in-ubuntu/
sudo apt-get install cabextract sudo apt-get install curl sudo apt-get install wgetI then downloaded this installer script:
wget http://plasmasturm.org/code/vistafonts-installer/vistafonts-installerThe installer script will download the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer (25MB fil) and extract the various fonts (Calibri, Cambria, Candara, etc.).
mkdir ~/.fonts chmod a+x ~/vista-fonts-installerto make the file/script executable.
Then run the script using:
$ ./vista-fonts-installer
Notice inside the vista-fonts-installer.sh, there is this line:
fc-cache -fv ~/.fontsThe installer script wants you to download your fonts into ~/.fonts. If you intend to share the instance with multiple users, it may be better to move them into /usr/share/fonts/vista or /usr/share/fonts/windows7. You should run "fc-cache -fv /usr/share/fonts/[dir]" if you move your font files.
My script therefore got changed to:

The other thing you may need to do is logout and log back in. This will let you insure that the fonts are loaded properly.
