Installing fonts in Ubuntu

I have installed Ubuntu, thank you...

I want to get a Lucida Grande font to work. Usually you have to install it from somewhere...

Pasting into the font's folder does not work. That's a problem. Now I'm confused.

Thanks for the help, even though the site isn't too active anymore...

Just create a .fonts (notice the dot) directory on your home,copy your fonts there and you are done.

Now I'm having problems w/ font smoothing.

Attached are two examples of the smoothing. The third attachment is my fonts prefs.

This is not working.

Look at the fonts section, its about as close as one can get in Linux

or you can just run 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure  fontconfig-config

and then select Auto-hinter on

click on the details in your Fonts settings. There should be options for custom tweaking. (using 7.04, 6.10, and 6.06.)
