a. Please create a new folder, in your home/profile folder, named .fonts
b. Download these fonts to the newly created ~/.fonts directory

Install this package, it downloads the fonts from sourceforge and installs them:

Make sure you have cabextract package installed.
You can get it here, if you dont have it
