I'll answer my own question as I figured an easy way to install your own fonts.
Under OTC Server, goto $INSTALLATION_PATH/server/default/data/nfs/home and create a folder with name _USER_OVERWRITE_ under this new folder, create a new folder called .fonts copy your fonts into this new directory. When you log-in to OTC OS with your username and password, the .fonts folder will be copied to your own home folder (/home/tcos/.fonts) and fonts will be available immediately. If you don't wish to do copy the fonts for each and every user, you can simply copy the .fonts folder only to that specific user(s) root folder: $INSTALLATION_PATH/server/default/data/nfs/home/USER-NAME/.fonts Once you get it working, you may question the efficiency of storage - duplicating fonts for every user. You'll notice under var/tcos/ there are folders that map to the folders (NFS) on your OTC Server. I am sure locating only one copy of fonts in a "shared" location will be more feasible. Perhaps running a script on each user's login which will create symbolic links from the "shared" folder to the user's home .fonts folder ? I am not well versed to suggest on going into details and how to do it. This might be a suggestion for the next coming OTC release to include such ability easily for all users benefit, in the form of package or a shared folder-based script.
