I've copied my truetype fonts from windows for use on my linux system. I've been searching and tried a few things with no luck.

thanks for any help!

An easy way to install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts on linux
Installing Microsoft's TrueType core fonts for the web on any rpm based linux box with TrueType support is now easy. The instructions below have been tested on various Red Hat and Fedora Core systems, but they are fairly generic so they should apply to any redhat-like linux distribution, such as mandrake or yellowdog. If you are running debian, please have a look here. If you are running suse, please have a look here



I did not try it personnally, because when I work with Linux I do not really care fonts...
Another way of looking for that :

I'm not a Linux user, so I don't know much about this. But I found this page that might be helpful to you: http://linux.org.mt/article/ttfonts. It shows you how to install fonts on Mandrake, RedHat, SuSE, etc. It looks pretty simple to understand.

GNOME makes it hard to install fonts. On Linux, you just type fonts:/ in Konqueror and then drag and drop them there.

After rummaging through my machine, I found the proper path:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
