1) Create /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
2) Copy all .ttf files here
3) From within this directory run mkttfdir
4) Add the following line to XF86Config file:
FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
5)Restart X

No consolidated command list, each package installed would be
adding some command to the list ..
Detailed documentation on most packages are kept in /usr/doc
or /usr/share/doc ... just read them.
