To install fonts in the "main" system folder, you need to be the su or
root user. But it is not a great idea to put them there as any bad fonts
can crash the whole thing. It is better to use vDog's approach if you
are the only user of the machine. You can also put thm in the network
folder if you need to share them over the LAN. Granted, putting them in
the main folder will give access to them to all users of the machine,
but first make sure that they are clean and not corrupted, then use the
terminal to copy them into the system fonts folder (or enable root
access and log in as the root user and then just drag and drop).
