besides the hints you got from Siard and Patrick, I recommend GNOME Character Map, package gucharmap, for examining and viewing fonts. > Muntasim-Ul-Haque wrote: > > TrueType Fonts (TTF) would open in GNOME with a dialog box, > > and it was just one-click away.

To get all the customization possibilities, take a look at the fontconfig machinery and the packages fontconfig and fontconfig-config which are almost certainly installed as you use XFCE. Also, fonts-conf(5) contains an example user configuration file ~/.fonts.conf, so that your font files (.ttf, .otf) may remain in their original directories and need not to be mixed together in *one* of the directories mentioned above by Siard. Finally $ fc-list will give you feedback if the fonts had been found and installed correctly. You don't need to logout or to restart as the cache files in ~/.fontconfig will be updated automatically.
