yes.

1. the fonts must be visible by Linux (that is the partition mounted etc)
2. create a fonts.dir file (as root: 'cd /the/directory/ ; ttmkfdir > fonts.dir')
3. add the directory to the font server config file (as root:
   'chkfontpath -q -a /the/directory/ && killall -USR1 xfs'
4. if you are on X11, you need to refresh the fontlist: 'xset fp rehash'


PS: to avoid possible problems; try to have all fonts ending in *.ttf and not
in *.TTF; for that, do a step 1a like this:

cd /the/directory
for i in *.TTF ; do
        mv $i $i.tmp
        mv $i.tmp `basename $i | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'` 
done

Then you can use those fonts in all your X11 programs.
