Adding fonts to Feisty

[Ed Smits]

I'm trying to add some fonts, have tried both methods found by googling:

1) Copy the fonts to the fonts folder /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and
run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig'.

2) put them in ~/.fonts and run fc-cache

I now have the fonts in 3 places - /root/.fonts,
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ as well as my own ~.fonts, have run both
fontconfig as well as fc-cache (this as both sudo as well as me),
still can't see the fonts in the Fonts folder, but they are now
available in a Fonts dropdown box, however what is the correct way to
do this for a system wide use?
