I’m wrting up some documentation in OpenOffice Writer, but I miss my MAC fonts in Pages. There’s a fix for that.

sudo apt-get install fondu

Thanks to das_syndrom for his post on ubuntuforums.org and this next part

Copy the .dfont files to a temp-directory

Convert them to *.ttf-files with fondu.

Put the *.ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/macfonts

And finally thanks to ubuntu-unleashed.com for the most important final part:

sudo fc-cache -f -v

Now you can use MAC fonts where you wish!
