I just went thru all this with Mint.  I copied the fonts that are
used in PCLinuxOS and just pasted them into the font
directory in Mint, and now I have all the usual ones, like
Times Roman, which is probably what you want, and a whole
slew of others. Mint has garbage for fonts, out of the box,
and Liberation is an example of that. AAMOF, you can just
*replace* the original fonts directory--you probably don't
want any of the fonts in there anyway.

In both systems, /usr/share/fonts contains the fonts.
Under the fonts directory there are a batch of subdirectories.
Just copy the whole fonts directory to a flash drive, and then
copy the contents back to the fonts directory in the other
system. Or just replace it, as I mentioned.
