There is no font installer in Lubuntu. It shouldn't be very hard to write one for GTK in a runtime; all it takes is a bit of code- probably less than a megabyte- to create a .fonts folder in /home or find the existing one, copy fonts into it, and then update the caches.
This is a wishlist item. Don't lose sight of Bug #1, folks.
