Does anyone have a step-by-step description of how to install

Well, you're not supposed to install MS Arial Unicode on Linux at
least in some countries. 


Why not? If one has a valid license to an MS product containing MS Arial Unicode,
then why couldn't one install it on both their Windoze and Linux installations?


Well, read the EULA. Whether that is binding or not is another question, which is why I added 'at least in some countries'.


If you want to install a Pan-Unicode font,

you'd better install James Kass' Code2000(BMP) and Code2001(non-BMP).


With no offense to Mr. Kass' admirable efforts, but I think the Code 2000 Hanzi/Kanji glyphs are particularly unsatisfactory in appearance -- and there definitely aren't enough of them

I recommended them solely based on the fact that there's no potential 'legal' issue with them.
