You can check out

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?keyword=fonts

for installation info as well as lotsa other stuff.  As mentioned already,
/usr/local is the place to put things.  Other links (regarding a
cm-super alternative) to check out are

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/lm/
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=uselmfonts

(from the LyX users list, courtesy Juergen Spitzmueller)

There are links leading to a general discussion on installing fonts in
the above.

HTH,
