Ok, I just rsynced the /usr/local/share/fonts/
I just checked a 13.2 installation here. Its /usr/local/share/fonts/ contains only 38 files, all of which I put there myself with mc, except for the 2 byte (0x30 0x0A) one that fontconfig put there. /usr/share/fonts/ is where "installed" fonts are found here, upwards of 4700 files total, only slightly less than on the 42.1 installation I'm typing from.
from 13.2 to leap (where this folder was empty) and now system settings sees the fonts as "installed", libre office can use some of them and gimp can use all of them...
If the source you copied looks something like the following:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 65536 Feb 1 2015 100dpi drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 65536 Feb 1 2015 75dpi drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 2015 cyrillic drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 1 2015 encodings lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 1 2015 ghostscript -> ../ghostscript/fonts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Feb 1 2015 misc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 2015 Speedo drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 2015 truetype drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 2015 Type1
and most or all are non-empty, you've most likely created a bunch of duplicates that will slow your system down. /usr/local/share/fonts should not contain fonts that match the names of fonts installed via basesystem or KDE-required rpms.

Aug 2013 w The "fonts management" of kde system settings does not show any duplicates... As much as I can see there are different font-files in both locations, I've searched for about 20 samples and they are either in one OR in the other location. No duplicates. I don't know how and when those a, b, c... folders have been created, as since many openSuse versions with new installs I always used that KDE fonts management thing to do it and never again looked at where the files were going.... However, as you explained in your previous post, the system seems to recognize the fonts that are in these locations and so for me "it works" :-) greetings from the primavera en Barcelona!
