If you do follow me, I'll show you how easy it is to install them!

Open up a terminal:
Applications->Accessories->Terminal
Copy/paste these commands:
wget http://ubuntu-debs.googlecode.com/files/macfonts.tar.gz
tar zxvf macfonts.tar.gz
sudo mv macfonts /usr/share/fonts/
sudo fc-cache -f -v

Now the Mac Fonts are installed, if you like these fonts and want them to be the default gnome font, right click on your desktop and select Change Desktop Backround then click on Fonts, and you can customize your system fonts there.
