Simple Font Installation?

[Jay]

Greetings! I am trying to copy some fonts from one XP machine to another.
These are TrueType fonts. Is it possible to just copy/paste them from the
Fonts folder of one machine into the same folder on the other? I've done it
successfully that way on one machine, but on another I get the message like
Windows is using the font and it cannot be replaced. If I'm not running any
apps, and the font hasn't been installed yet, then how can Windows be using
it?

Thanx,

I've read a book saying that one may copy the fonts from Windows to
Ubuntu.

And this solves the OP's problem how exactly?
