You can add your own fonts and sharing them by putting them into /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype. You need to run a couple of commands to make them available to X:
# cd /usr/local/share/fonts
# mkdir truetype
# chmod go+rx truetype
# cd truetype
# wget [/url][url=http://www.children2children.net/promos/fonts/kidprint.zip]http://www.children2children.net/promos/fonts/kidprint.zip
# unzip kidprint.zip
# rm kidprint.zip
# mkfontscale (or ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale ?????)
# mkfontdir
You need to add the path to the catalogue entry in /etc/X11/fs/config:
/usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/
A couple of other paths that should also be included there for the defoma package managed fonts to be available are:
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID/
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/
enjoy,
