All Microsoft fonts in Ubuntu (Works for urdu fonts)

I am using a dual boot system (Windows and Ubuntu) and was having Urdu fonts rendering issue on Ubuntu. To resolve the issue i installed Microsoft fonts on Ubuntu. Perform the following steps.

1) Copy the fonts folder from C:/Widnows/Fonts to Ubuntu home /user/home/Fonts

2) Rename the Fonts folder (on ubuntu) to .Fonts with following command
cd /user/home

mv Fonts .fonts

3) Execute the following command to refresh the cache.

sudo fc-cache -fv

[Done]

Enjoy your fonts.

You will need to restart browsers after the last command executed.
