Hola despues de mucho,
Hoy, necesitaba instalar unas fuentes de microsoft en mi linux, específicamente el Times New Roman
para instalar no hubo mucho secreto… solo que tuve que buscar mucho jajajaja
bueno para podes instalar en el opensuse o en cualquier linux que use rpm.

o sea… bajamos el rpm e instalamos

wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-jengelh/AnyDistro/noarch/MicrosoftFonts-1-jen14.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh MicrosoftFonts-1-jen14.noarch.rpm

bye

#!$%* fuente…
bueno les digo como instalar…
primero que nada tienen que conseguir las fuentes
De donde sacan??
el arial narrow no es gratis se compra

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/family.aspx?FID=22

por ahi si ya compraron y tienen en algun guindos pueden sacar de la carpeta c:/windows/fonts/
ok digamos que conseguimos el arial narrow y queremos instalar en el linux “YA NOMAS!!”, nuestra fuente se llama arialnarrow.TTF
en este caso deberiamos copiar el archivo arialnarrow.TTF en la carpeta /usr/share/fonts/truetype
o sea

# cp  arialnarrow.TTF /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
# fc-cache -v

/usr/share/fonts/100dpi: skipping, looped directory detected
/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
/root/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded
#

y sha esta…
lo que hace fc-cache es releer el directorio de fuentes e instalar la fuente que copiamos a /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
esto podemos hacer con cualquier fuente que queramos instalar no solamente con el arial narrow
