Create a new directory is /usr/share/fonts: mkdir /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts 2. Make sure the directory permissions are the same as other directories in /usr/share/fonts # ls -ld /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-12 10:18 /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/ 3. Move all your extra true type fonts into this directory, and make sure that the permissions are correct (u=rw,go=r). 4. I created a fonts.dir and fonts.scale in that directory using ttmkfdir (I think), but I'm not sure that's necessary. You probably just need to re-start X and log everyone out/in. -- Dale Dellutri
