If you've just switched over to Linux, you're probably hating the default monospaced font; thankfully I've found some better ones...
Liberation
On May 9, 2007, Red Hat announced the public release of these fonts under the trademark LIBERATION at the Red Hat Summit. You are free to use these fonts on any system you would like. You are free to redistribute them under the GPL+exception license found in the download.

Thanks to Nylock for sharing this fonts with us
Installing
Once downloaded, usually to your desktop, you're going to need to install them into your system to use. They need to be copied to the /usr/share/fonts directory.
First unzip the files, then open Terminal and...
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
sudo mkdir liberation
sudo mkdir apple-fonts
Here, you've moved into the location where the System's fonts are stored, then created one directory for the liberation fonts (worth having), and the apple fonts.
Now copy the files to each directory from the desktop to liberation & apple-fonts,
sudo cp /home/[user]/Desktop/liberation-fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation
sudo cp /home/[user]/Desktop/fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/apple-fonts
Final bit, refresh the font cache...
sudo fc-cache -vf
Logout, login and your ready to use them.
