Fonts

As root, open an nautilus window and type "~/.fonts" in the location bar. Create the directory, if it doesn't exist. Now copy all the .ttf files there. Open a terminal windows and type: "fc-cache -f -v". Restart and you can now use OSX fonts. My font settings are shown in the "MyFonts.png" file.

For other fonts and tweaking, follow this guide. This guide has been taken from Ubuntuforums.org

***********************************************************************************************************************
I tweaked the fontconfig XML files so that fonts look like on Windows. This code is borrowed from PC-BSD. First, let's install the Microsoft fonts. You have 2 ways of doing so:

Either download the fonts into your home directory and install them on your system:

"sudo tar xvjpf msfonts.tbz -C /usr/share/fonts/truetype/"

Or, enable non-free, universe and multiverse repositories and install the Microsoft fonts:

"sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts"

You now have the Microsoft fonts installed. Let's configure your system now.

Download the xml files and extract the file into /etc/fonts/ as root:

sudo tar xvjpf fontconfig.tbz -C /etc/fonts/

Log out from Ubuntu and relog in.

It's a lot more complex than disabling antialiasing at small font sizes
Take a backup of /etc/fonts folder and whatever you modify here first, in case you may want to revert.
