Fonts have become and integral part of every system that displays text. For this reason one of the things I do when customizing GNOME is to install my favourite fonts.
Most often I switch to KDE only to install fonts for GNOME via Font Installer.
However this is totally not necessary. These steps should help you install fonts in GNOME with no effort.
1. Log in to the account where you need the fonts installed.
2. Under your home directory create a hidden folder named fonts.
i. cd ~
ii. mkdir .fonts
3. Copy the true type fonts (TTF) you wish to install into this folder.
i. cp -R ~/myttf/* ~/.fonts.
4. Refresh your profile. I prefer a log off.
In order to verify if the fonts are installed, open Open Office Writer and click on the fonts drop down in the format toolbar to see if your newly installed font is in the list.
That's it folks.
