How to add fonts in gnome (from gnome help on ubuntu dapper):

Adding a TrueType Font

To add a TrueType font to your system, perform the following steps:

   1. Open the Font preference tool by choosing Desktop → Preferences →
Font in the top panel.     
   2. Click on Details.
   3. Click on Go to font folder. The Fonts folder opens.
   4. Open a file manager window and select the TrueType font that
      you want to add.

   5. Copy the TrueType font file that you want to add to the Fonts
folder.      

You can also open the Fonts folder by typing the following URI into
Nautilus file manager's Open Location dialog: fonts:///.

While talking with a fellow who wrote a popular
essay on hiring open-source developers several
years ago, he mentioned he had current openings for
senior Linux and SAP admins.  Here they are, hope
people don't mind.  (I don't *think* people are tired
of hearing about job openings :-)
