Depending on what resources you have available to you there is a very quick and dirty fix for you.

Copy over all "*.ttf" fonts you want available to your installation in to your home "~/.fonts" directory and run "fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts" on them to get your font cache updated.

Note: It is not legal to just do a file search on your windows or os x computers for all .ttf files and copy them over to this same fonts directory – even if it technically does work. This should only be used for fonts that you have legally purchased from Adobe/Apple/Microsoft or have some other copyright legal way of using.
