Try putting them in a subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts.

What type of fonts are compatible?
Assuming you're using aptitude, call up the graphical interface, and
take a surf through the X11 section.
There's a pretty comprehensive selection, along with font servers which
are quite happy to work side by side on the same system.

Re: Adding fonts to Gnome.....
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will try the different mehtods and see what works best.

Adding fonts to Gnome.....
I've got GNOME 2 running on Debian Sarge. I'd like to add some fonts to GNOME. (Currently I've only got about 12 fonts.) What type of fonts are compatible? How do I add them to Gnome? I googled on this subject but didn't find anything that helped. (I have read the Font HOWTO, but it didn't seem to deal specifically with GNOME.) I managed to find the fonts I do have installed in GNOME by typing fonts:/// into Nautilus. Hoever, I couldn't paste any font files into it. Where is the fonts:/// directory in the file system? I couldn't find it. Is it some type of virtual directory? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Scott Huey
