On this page it instructs you to press alt-f2 and type
gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts/truetype
For Lubuntu, you should press alt-f2 and type
gksu pcmanfm /usr/share/fonts/truetype
The window that opens, is a place for you to place your font files into. You will need to unpackage them to place each .ttf or .otf file in here.
