If they're Microsoft fonts, I'm pretty sure that your license
specifically excludes their use on any other platform then MS
Windows.

But did you mean .pfb files?  I'm not familiar with any pdb type
fonts, but pfb file are typically type 1 binary postscript fonts.
I think you can simply drop them into your X11 font directories.
For example, to use abc___.pfb font you should be able to drop it
into your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 directory, run mkfontdir
and make the resource available to X by either updating your X 
resource database (I can't remember how to do that off hand) or 
restarting your X server (sometimes inconvenient, but at least I
can remember how ;-)).  You might want to investigate the t1utils
for more info.

Hope this helps,
