If you want to add them manually use the GUI advice already given, or save any 
desired font files in ~/.fonts

However, I would probably emerge:

 media-fonts/corefonts
 media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera
 media-fonts/font-bh-ttf 

and perhaps:

 media-fonts/freefont-ttf
 media-fonts/libertine-ttf

to have them system wide.

eix -l ttf  and  eix -l fonts will show relevant files.
