I've written my own how to on how to install true type fonts on linux.
 The font situation on linux has gotten incrementally better.

Right now only two types of apps have crappy looking fonts.  Office
applications and java applications.


My own person opinion is that such people don't care about front end
issues.  If the applications works and if the fonts can be read (even
if they look like shit) the issue is a low priority.

If you are around linux desktop java client users you will see the
issue.
