Download the RPM package to /tmp 2. Open a terminal shell and cd to /tmp 3. alien --scripts liberation-fonts-0.1.4-noarch.rpm 4. dpkg -i liberation-fonts_0.1.5_all.deb 5. rm /tmp/liberation-fonts* Note the differences in the package name between the original RPM and alien-generated DEB. Also, I would suspect that any DEB created this way should be for your own local use; distribution could be dicey for any of several reasons. Another way to install the fonts (systemwide):

The best I've had...so far ;) For everything else, there's Liberation.
