Try this:
/usr/bin/fc-cache -f -v /path/to/new/fonts
As of 8.0, there are two methods used for font handling, the legacy xfs
and the new fontconfig Xft handling.
- From the release notes:
o Red Hat Linux now uses Xft for fonts in GNOME and KDE, which uses
fontconfig for configuring fonts. The old style Xft config file
/etc/X11/XftConfig is no longer used or supported, having been
replaced by the new unified fontconfig method of configuration. The
fontconfig config file can be customized by editing
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.
If you have fonts that you would like to add to your configuration,
you can copy them to ~/.fonts (or /usr/share/fonts), and run
fc-cache directory. The fonts will then be available.
