1. make sure you have ttmkfdir installed
In my case it took 'apt-get install ttmkfdir'
2. go to the fonts directory. I used /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttfheb
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttfheb
3. run there:
ttmkfdir >fonts.dir
4. Add it to the configuration of XFree: in /etc/X11/XF86Config add, among
the other FontPath lines (before the one pointing ot your fonts
server):
FontPath /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttfheb
5. And for the current session, if you want:
xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttfheb
