With Ubuntu and fonts there are several things going on. Generally, the system-wide fonts are kept under /usr/share/fonts
An alternate place could be /usr/local/fonts That, however, is usually empty because packages put fonts in named directories, e.g., in the ttf dir in /usr/share/fonts TeX-related fonts basically sit in the texmf tree, usually in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts You can also add your own into /usr/share/texmf/fonts Or you can put fonts into ~/.fonts and into your (correct me if I err) ~/.texmf-var/fonts THEN there's defoma, the Debian Font Manager, and I am not sure what ramifications exist there. There is a way to make things like otf fonts in your texmf trees visible to defoma, but I have yet to RTFMP, except to install the cm-super XII package.
