Thanks to fontconfig, starting with Etch, installing new fonts has
become really easy.
System wide:
Whilst the package manager puts its fonts into /usr/share/fonts,
the correct place for you to put yours would be
/usr/local/share/fonts, or any subdirectory thereof, such as
/usr/local/share/fonts/truetype (or even deeper).
Per user:
Put your fonts into ~/.fonts, or any subdirectory thereof.
No further action required, works immediately.
(Well, you may have to restart a program, OpenOffice in particular.)
Also works for Type 1 fonts, consisting of 2 files: a .pfa or .pfb
file, and a .afm file.
BTW, I have the Liberation fonts as the standard fonts for Qt and GTK,
since they look great on screen.
