Installing fonts in Ubuntu

Something I always forget how-to-do is installing fonts, so I thought I'd put this short entry together... its actually pretty simple if you want them just for one user. You can either do this graphically or as I prefer at the command line:

Simply make a directory called ".fonts" in your home directory:

mkdir .fonts

and then drag and drop to install fonts graphically or simply

cp font.ttf $HOME/.fonts/

Then open the program you want to use them in, job done.
