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)

Note: 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. – topsail Dec 31 '20 at 14:12

You 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. – Pavel Dec 01 '13 at 13:02
