First, create a directory for the fonts:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
Copy the TTF fonts you want to use into that directory:
cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF/.
Create the fonts.scale file needed for xfs:
cd /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
/usr/sbin/ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
ln -s fonts.scale fonts.dir
Tell the X font server to use the new fonts:
chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
Restart the X font server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
The fonts are now available!
