I’ve been a fan of Monaco when I was a Windows user I would like to know if there’s a free open alternative to that font (and possibly available in Synaptic Package Manager).

If you have a copy of the font you could just install it manually…
press alt+F2 (Run Application) then type:
gksudo nautilus /usr/share/fonts/truetypeto open the proper directory as superuser, create a new directory there & put whatever fonts you have in. After that you’ll need to rebuild the font directory, to do that hit alt+F2 again & check off ‘Run in Terminal’ and enter:sudo fc-cache -f -vOnce that’s done running you should be good to go.Identifont offers alternatives to any font you’re looking for too, so check out : http://www.identifont.com/similar?1O2 the list of similar fonts is on the left.
