Hello!
I have Office 2007 installed on Windows XP, and I would like to use the fonts in Linux Mint. I have all the fonts on a memory stick now, but how do I install them in Linux Mint?

That did not answer his questions. 
To install any font you can do two things.
If you're the only one going to use the fonts you can install them on a user-basis.
Just create a folder in your home-folder and name it .fonts and copy your fonts into that folder. Then restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace). Note, restarting x will close every app you have open.
To install fonts on a system wide basis,
copy the fonts to the /usr/share/fonts/
