It used to make some difference, but lately with the Liberation fonts, it
doesn't any more.
If you insist, just dropping the fonts into ${HOME}/.fonts for a per-user
basis (all applications of this user), or /usr/share/fonts or thereabouts for
truly system-wise installation. I don't think you need to name the fonts
specially or doing anything with hints or whatever. Sym-links also work, I
believe.
