How do I install a non packaged font in Debian?



Hi everyone,

I would like to install the first font on this page:
http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download

My system is Debian Sid, xorg, with defoma and x-ttcidfont-conf
installed.

I created a folder 'proggy' in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ 
and unzipped the files there, then ran the command mkfontdir 
[orchid@morcheeba:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/proggy]% ll
total 100K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   822 2006-07-18 18:00 fonts.cache-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root     2 2006-07-18 17:58 fonts.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 orchid orchid 45K 2005-03-18 11:59 ProggyCleanCE.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 orchid orchid 41K 2005-03-17 18:47 ProggyClean.ttf
[orchid@morcheeba:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/proggy]% file ProggyClean*
ProggyCleanCE.ttf: TrueType font data
ProggyClean.ttf:   TrueType font data

I then ran: sudo xset fp rehash
but the fonts do not show up in xlsfonts, not even after restarting the
x server. Is the a proper way to add non packaged fonts to a Debian
system?
