No kidding. It sees the space as a seperator in the command, and therefore 
barfs. if you want to use spaces, Which I wouldn't recommend in the *NIX 
world, you need to escape it with a backslash. 

Ex: 

/home/user/My\ Fonts/ttfonts

The backslash tells the shell to 'ignore' the following character and treat 
it as part of the string. -Dave
