What you can do is place the fonts in something like /usr/share/myapplication/fonts when the administrator installs the application. Then, when the user runs the application for the first time, you put a copy of the fonts into ~/.fonts/myapplication/ Per user fonts are located by default in ~/.fonts/. The fonts are discovered even if they are in subdirectories.
