yaa thankyou.as you given link it's provide by the 3rd party. "installation of fonts from 3rd party websites is almost too easy. Download and save the file somewhere to your computer" Is there any other product of ubuntu.?Because I don't want to use 3rd party tools. –  user2138545 Apr 23 '13 at 11:42
It's not the software, it's the font data you will install. They are not always Open Source (in the case of Gill because the name - not the font - is copyright protected) therefore they may not be available from Ubuntu but from other sources. Gill fonts are availably to buy e.g. from fonts.com. –  Takkat Apr 23 '13 at 12:09
