Copy the .ttf
file and paste it inside ~/.fonts
folder, i.e. /home/username/.fonts
folder. Create one if you don't already have one.
Now run:
fc-cache -fv
from a terminal. You should now be able to see the new fonts in your editor/application. (editor/application might need a restart)

2Note: but don't use sudo since in this case you placed the font in a folder in your own home directory. See the link at the top for further details.– topsailDec 31, 2020 at 14:12
Double click on the TTF
file and select the Install
button.

2You will find Windows ttf fonts in Windows\Fonts. Btw, it is legal to use Windows native fonts in Linux if both OS's are on the same machine.– PavelDec 1, 2013 at 13:02
