I've installed 16.04 but I don't see the extra package in Software for getting more fonts, do you know how to install it? Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu Software only shows applications, i.e. basically programs with a graphical UI. Help packages, such as extra fonts, can be installed from a terminal window. If you want a graphical interface to browse all available packages and install those extra fonts you want, you can install Synaptic.
sudo apt install synaptic

Thanks, and how could I install this package for extra fonts with the terminal?– RoqueJan 10, 2017 at 21:51

@Roque: Or did I misunderstand your question... Did you ask for a terminal command to install the extra fonts directly? Please note that there is not one package, there are approximately 200-300 different fonts packages... Jan 10, 2017 at 21:55

I meant the package to install the fonts directly, but if there are hunders I'll have to install synaptic haha. Thanks.– RoqueJan 10, 2017 at 22:11
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
package you want. However, the current Ubuntu version of that package is buggy, so installing via Synaptic might fail. Please see this answer for a solution.
