Hi,
I have those fonts on my Ubuntu box, but couldn't find an installation
package for my CentOS/RHEL machine.
How to get them for CentOS/RHEL and is there any configuration after
installation to enable emacs to use them?
Best,
Yuan

Put them somewhere the X server can find them, if necessary create the fonts.* files and encodings.dir, extend if necessary the X server's font path, make it rehash the fonts – and check! (xlsfonts, xfontsel)
Make them also available to the libfontconfig service and put them into its cache (with fc-cache) – and check! (fc-list, fc-match)
Inside GNU Emacs you can use this code from Miles Bader to check whether GNU Emacs sees the fonts:
;;; ----------------------------------------------------------------
;;; list-fonts-display via font-config
(defun list-fonts-display (&optional matching)
"Display a list of font-families available via font-config, in a new buffer.
If the optional argument MATCHING is non-nil, only font families
matching that regexp are displayed; interactively, a prefix
argument will prompt for the regexp.
The name of each font family is displayed using that family, as
well as in the default font (to handle the case where a font
cannot be used to display its own name)."
(interactive
(list
(and current-prefix-arg
(read-string "Display font families matching regexp: "))))
(let (families)
(with-temp-buffer
(shell-command "fc-list : family" t)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (not (eobp))
(let ((fam (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position)
(line-end-position))))
(when (or (null matching) (string-match matching fam))
(push fam families)))
(forward-line)))
(setq families
(sort families
(lambda (x y) (string-lessp (downcase x) (downcase y)))))
(let ((buf (get-buffer-create "*Font Families*")))
(with-current-buffer buf
(erase-buffer)
(dolist (family families)
;; We need to pick one of the comma-separated names to
;; actually use the font; choose the longest one because some
;; fonts have ambiguous general names as well as specific
;; ones.
(let ((family-name
(car (sort (split-string family ",")
(lambda (x y) (> (length x) (length y))))))
(nice-family (replace-regexp-in-string "," ", " family)))
(insert (concat (propertize nice-family
'face (list :family family-name))
" (" nice-family ")"))
(newline)))
(goto-char (point-min)))
(display-buffer buf))))
;; --------------------------------------------------------
