Copy your MS Windows fonts to some location, you can copy them
directly or archive them first (winzip, tar, or other multiplatform
utility). Copy or unarchive them into a folder. Default is, IIRC,
/usr/share/fonts/truetype.
Note that the MS EULA for fonts specifically allows their use on
different machines. Some of the fonts, however, don't render for me.

There are various sources of TT fonts, including websites, CDs available
at office supply stores, peddlers on street corners, large men in dark
alleys.... Just copy the *.ttf files to the appropriate directory.
You'll then need to tell the font server you've got fonts. RTFM.

Whichever works for you. I'm running xfstt. There is TT support built
directly in to XFree86 v4, you won't need a third-party font server for
this.
