Is that even legal? Are we allowed to do that?

As long as you have a license for Windows XP, and that
license isn't
used on any other computer it should be legal.

I thought they allowed one PC and one laptop per license.

You missed one vital step. Forgot to tell fontconfig about
your new
font directory:

Edit the file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (all users) or
~/.fonts.conf (your
account only) and insert the line:

    
<dir>/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-microsoft</dir&g
t;

Make sure that line is somewhere in between the opening
<fontconfig>
and closing </fontconfig> tags in that file.

No need to restart at all. Run `fc-cache -v` (rebuilds
~/.fonts.cache-1) or `sudo fc-cache -v` (to rebuild system
wide
fonts.cache-1)

Here is an example of what my ~/.fonts.conf looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- ~/.fonts.conf file to configure personal font access
-->
<fontconfig>

<!-- Font directory list -->

    <dir>~/.fonts.artistic</dir>

<!-- Autohinting
    <match target="font">
        <edit name="autohint"
mode="assign">
            <bool>true</bool>
        </edit>
    </match>
-->
</fontconfig>
