I’ve got a bunch of ttf fonts I want to install. The file extensions are .fon and .ttf. In KDE there was a widget for installing fonts, somewhere in Control Panel. I’ve switched to Gnome for a year while they get KDE a bit more stable. But I can’t install all my fonts. Is there a widget in Gnome to do that?
Thanks

AFAIK, no 
Just drop (copy) the fonts under your ~/.fonts folder. And relogin

Yes, that only depends on what you want/cant achieve -> system-wide
(/usr/share/fonts) or user-scope (~/.fonts)

Actually, I figured that. But thank you for the clarification.
For single user systems yeh the hidden .fonts directory is handy.
For systemwide fonts usr/share/fonts is the place to go.
a fonts directory is usually standard but if its not on there just create a hidden folder by naming a new folder .fonts
Thanks ppl. Works a treat.
