If you or a friend has a copy of Windows, you can copy your TT fonts from C:\Windows\Fonts onto a USB stick or other removable media. You can then copy the fonts into your ~/.fonts directory on Linux. If you want all users on your system to use the fonts, then instead of copying them to ~/.fonts, put them in a global directory e.g.
Create a driectory in /usr/local/share call msfonts
Copy the fonts to /usr/local/share/msfonts
Run Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
Enter
sudo -i
Enter
cd /usr/local/share/msfonts
sudo mkfontdir
sudo mkfontscale
sudo fc-cache

When you log out and back in again you should be able to use the Windows fonts.

If all you want is the basic Windows core fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma etc.), you don't even need to do that -- just run

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
And they'll get automatically installed in the right place for you. As a bonus, when you restart Opera, all the new fonts will populate themselves into your font choices in opera like magic; though I'm not sure why...!
