Hi Roger,
You can simply create a new directory in /usr/share/fonts/ and copy
there the fonts you want to add. For example I created a folder
/usr/share/fonts/msfonts where I copied ttf fonts from msoffice.
Otherwise you can use the font installer from desktop settings.
Regards,
Francesco

If I do not have (want) an xorg.conf file, but I want to add fonts to the system, what is the preferred location?
They are ttf fonts. So I guess I could add them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. But I really do not like adding things to directories I see as being managed by the system. It seems that X does not look, by default (i.e., without an xorg.conf file), in all folders in /usr/share/fonts. If it had, I could have added a 'local' or some such directory.
