In f8 (and I believe in f9) fonts work without any problems and
"dynamically" with font-config.
Put your fonts in ~/.fonts and it is done. You can check the result
using fc-list
For a system wide use, create a directory:
/usr/local/share/fonts/
then add the fonts there (in their own directory if you want to make a
classification).
To have these fonts used by the system, create a local.conf file in
/etc/fonts
<----local.conf
<fontconfig>
~ <!-- Font directory list -->
~ <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
<--- end local.conf
See
man fonts-conf
Thanks for that clear pointer, I rarely use global fonts, but you post
went in the tricks folder!
