I love Ubuntu font developed by Ubuntu and Google team.So I decided to use it in my Windows PC (dual booted with Linux Mint and Windows 7).
After installing a font you can use it in Applications like paint,MS office etc.
Although this is a very simple task many people never used this previously.So today I will explain how to add your favorite font to Windows PC.

First of all download the font from Internet. Just Google for it, you will find a lot of websites.
Download the fonts as per your wish. You will get a zipped file. Unzip it so that you will get a TrueType font file. Now copy this file and paste it in Font setting panel. To open the font settings follow the path as given below.
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts
This will look similar to the below picture
